We invite you to make a better world
You are here because you want to train to be a commercial pilot – that’s how you arrived at this website.
At World School of Flight we are here to politely ask you to think again.
If you become a pilot you will control one of the most destructive machines in human history.
A coal fired power station takes teams to run it.
A ship needs an entire crew.
But a Boeing 777 can be flown by just a captain and his co-pilot.
As a captain you will be responsible for releasing more toxicity that virtually any other type of human.
Every time you push that joystick forward you will be helping push the planet closer to collapse.
Please think again.

- At capacity a Boeing 747 400 Jumbo Jet burns 216,000 litres. (Source – Modern Airliners website)
That's equivalent to the petrol tanks of 4320 cars.
Imagine just one flight burns up
six entire tankers of fuel.
And YOU are the person responsible for that.
