I Work for UPS out of the Reno-Tahoe International gateway. Ever sense I started here I have wanted to fly. Here the planes we load are 757-200's. Ocassionally we get an A300 or a DC-8. Will someone please explain the steps I need to take to be able to fly planes like these. I attend UNR right now so I have about three years of college credits. I have talked to a lot of pilots that are a little younger to se how they became F/O's and all started in the Airforce. Should I go to a local little airport and ask around for flight instructors or should i try to attend a major college like Embry? I really think that i would be happy as a pilot either commercial or cargo lines i just dont know how to get started. Any advixe will be appreciated!

I would find a local school in your area to do your training.  However, if you are willing to relocate then check out a more formalized flight academy that has a FAA approved 141 course.  This means they are more structured and are more likely to have the airline contacts or some connections for career placement.

Embry R. may be a little steep at your current position seeing as you have already completed most of your college.  Just finish that up and try to find a flight academy that offers a up-to-date fleet, good customer service, and ease of aircraft scheduling.
