British Airways _Flying with Confidence Preview

Watch a preview of our brand new instructional video for nervous flyers, which will be available to view in full on the in-flight entertainment system from September 1.

The film, presented by British Airways pilot and course leader Captain Steve Allright, takes information from the British Airways Flying with Confidence course -- the airline's one-day fear of flying programme.

In the full video, Captain Allright explains the technical side of flying, how an aircraft operates and other areas that can give some customers cause for concern, such as turbulence. The video also gives advice from clinical psychologists on the course including relaxation techniques, and how best to deal with anxiety and feelings of panic.

Is it really that expensive to train to become a pilot ? Sorry I'm just starting flight school and know nothing about it, it is also my dream to become a pilot for BA.

Exactly,don't let money come in the way of your dream.Here in my country,many people go for university degrees,get a job of atleast Rs 30000(Mauritian Rupees) and then take loans from bank.In fact,if u r young at the present moment,don't be worried,because i can barely see any airlines employing young 19 years old pilots,unless they are cadets.Hope i helped.:-)

some training centers let you borrow from a bank and you pay them back when you become a pilot!
