My flight school is mainly for professional pilots and many of the students are taking commercial, airline transport, or instructor courses after getting private license. When I was in Japan, an airline transport pilot was a very special occupation and I did not even imagine how to become it. But now, I found that at least in Canada, it is not a special job and the way towards an ATP is open to every person who wants. Of course there are a lot of tasks and requirements before becoming an ATP, but is never impossible. I don't think I want to be it now, but if I knew it fifteen years ago, I might have gone for it.
