Want to be a pilot? No experience required

Those of you that have been reading Kent Wien's Cockpit Chronicles may experience the deep envy that many feel when we read about the great destinations, experiences and adventures that a pilot is privy to. Indeed for many, the job of a pilot is a dream, something that we aspire to as children but rarely pursue later in life. And by the time many of realize how much we want to chase that dream, well, we may think that it's too late to inviest the time and money in training. If you win this contest, however, that could all change.



Air Asia, Malaysia's most successful low cost carrier has a shortage of pilots, and in an effort to build interest and support in the brand they're launching the "So you Wanna be a Pilot" competition. 10 lucky winners who submit a blog entry to their site could be selected to win training from the ground up. Obviously you have to have basic education in Physics, Mathematics and the like, but every pilot should have that, right? Oh and the other caveat? You need to have a good command of Bahasa Malaysia. But that's not hard to learn, right?

Check out the rest of the details on AirAsia's blog.
