Question

Is it true, that if I become an Airline Pilot, I could be drafted Into the military during a war?

Answer 1

You can be drafted if you are a male United States resident between the ages of 18.5 and 26.  

However, there is no draft and probably won't be in the future.

In the past, people who showed up for the draft were actually tricked into volunteering.  Don't fall for tricks and refuse to volunteer if you don't want to join the military.

Answer 2

Yes, just as Doctors can.

But we don't have a draft (yet).

But then, what is wrong with giving your country some help?

If Warrented!

Answer 3

In the USA... NO.  Simply put, there IS NO DRAFT.

However, IF You are a commercial pilot flying for any number of the American-Flagged carriers, your employer may have CONTRACTS with the US Government to provide transport services.

DURING WWII, Korea, and Vietnam there WERE pilots for the airlines who were pressed into flying with the US Armed Forces... BECAUSE they still were RESERVE Officers or still had obligations to the military.

I can't comment on nations other than the US.
