I want to become a commercial pilot, but I have 5-7 year ahead me..?

Question

Do you guys thing till that time Pilots won't make that much money and it will be like taxi drivers ?

Will the boeing 747-400 still live till that time and other great planes like MD-11 ?

Answer 1

ok for the first part of your question the best way would be to get a privite pilot license and do like european flight on privite jets and earn money that way.

for the second part of the question,

planes definetly won't be going anywhere for like 70 years. but i'm sure that in the next 5-7 years boeing will already be building a 797 or something.

but there are better planes then the 747-400 and the MD-11 likle the new A380-800 or the DC-10 and the new Boeing 787 dreamliner.

boeing already have plans for a boeing 747-900 which will be somewhat smaller than the A380-800 but i would also imagine that airbus will be working on plans for the futre and who know's maybe there might be another supersonic aircraft in the next few years?

hope this helps.

Answer 2

They're already like taxi drivers.  They just don't make as much money as taxi drivers make, and don't have any job security.

The B747-400 and MD-11 will be around, but it might take more than a Commercial certificate to get a pilot job on them.
