Answer 6

First u need a private pilots license (you can fly a plane).

Next you need to accumulate flying hours.

Now you can get a commercial pilot license (you can offer your services for a fee)

Next you need a airline transport pilot license. (you can fly planes for airlines)

You need a multiple engine rating and instrument (these take years of experience to acquire)

Airlines also may require thousands of flying hours and/or an advanced aviation school ground training.

Some colleges/universities offer undergraduate degrees, airlines also may require/prefer this as well.
