still have to study again to be a cadet pilot or commercial pilot?where and how much will it cost or are they going to pay for my schooling after my graduation if i applied in cathy pacific or in other company?because i don't know what position can i apply for if i finished my aviation and graduated?

Answer 1

Presumably what you mean is that you will have a diploma with some sort of aviation curriculum. If this curriculum includes flight training through commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings, then yes you can start applying as soon as you graduate, although most airlines require several years of other commercial flying experience before they will consider you.

If your proposed aviation degree doesn't include flight training then you will most likely have to get it on your own. Some companies do have "cadet" programs where they will select promising candidates and train them from the beginning (called "ab initio" training), but this is fiercely competetive and analagous to being selected as an Air Force cadet. If you don't make it into such a program, then you will have to pay for all your own flight training and then you will have to get appropriate experience to meet the minimum airline qualifications. Each airline sets their own standards, so contact them directly to find out what they are.

Once hired as a qualified pilot, an airline will train you in the type of equipment they fly. You don't normally have to pay anything for that .

Answer 2

If you have graduated from an aviation college, you will know if you have the certificates needed that make you a pilot.

Sounds like you have not graduated yet.  If that's the case, look at the course syllabus.  If it includes a section for Part 135 Flight Training, look in that section for details on what certificates for which they train.

Hope that helps...
