It's up to oneself how much you love the profession and its duty. About the oil depletion, once you're an airline pilot.. you are paid for your service (fly the aircraft) and the passangers pay for the airfares (means you dont have to worry about paying the aircraft fuel because you're the one who get paid). Future of an airline pilot seems to be very bright since the aviation industry are widely expanding nowadays.. Future of a Wannabe/student/Fresh graduate Pilot maybe no so bright until you become a Commercial/Airline Pilot.

Try airline's cadetship programme.. maybe you have your luck?who knows..

not only MAS, Airasia also froze their cadet intake at the moment. But, dont worry.. it's only for a short while..
