[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that with the regulations passed in 2015 increasing the flight hour requirements to qualify as a commercial airline jet pilot to 1,500, people who try to become pilots outside the military route tend to have a difficult time meeting the hours requirements. Flight school programs themselves usually will give you only a fraction of those hours, and then people typically have to find other flying jobs to get the rest of their hours, like flight instruction (private pilots), aerial photography, sky diving companies, etc. Those jobs tend to be low-paying, though, and the initial flight school is pricey. So while flight schools may try to sell you on their $100k price tags by saying you can become a pilot in two years, in reality to meet the licensing requirements to fly for one of the major airlines, it's likely to be more like 3-4 years and a lot of money out of pocket.
