How long does it take in the Air Force to become a Commercial Airline Pilot?

I wanna be a commercial airline pilot and if college and school takes to long I would like to know how long it would take if I was in the Air Force or Air Force Academy ThanksHow long does it take in the Air Force to become a Commercial Airline Pilot?
It would take you four years of university study to complete a bachelor's of science in aviation and test for your FAA ATP (air transport pilot). This would put you at the bottom on the barrel though. There was a documentary I watched on PBS recently where a brand new airline pilot was talking about how he only got paid from the time the aircraft door closed (before takeoff) to the time it opened (when he was at the terminal). He took home $16,000 after tax. On top of his student loans.





If you go to the USAF ROTC (or USAF academy) you will study for four years, probably engineering or math, or another field that will be valuable to the USAF. After you graduate from that university course of study you (if you're the luckiest man alive) wil be sent on to be a pilot candidate for about one year. The good part about this is you'll be paid as an officer the entire time you're learning to fly. You'll also have very little if any student loans.How long does it take in the Air Force to become a Commercial Airline Pilot?
If you are asking how long it takes to become an airline pilot by way of the Air Force the answer is about 16 years. First you will attend ROTC or the Academy which will be 4 years. Then if you gain a pilot slot (you don't have to be the luckiest man alive but it is competitive) you will likely sit for about a year while you wait your turn to start training and attend ASBC (Air and Space Basic Course for all new 2nd Lts) and IFS (Introductory Flight Screening for all those who gain pilot slots) and pilot training itself lasts about a year. At the end of pilot training you get your wings which also currently commits you to 10 years of Active Duty service with the Air Force. So once you actually have the opportunity to apply for an airline you will have put 16 years of effort into your run at the airlines.





If you just want your commercial pilot's license then you can do an equivalency test after completing pilot training and get the little piece of paper, but holding a job with an airline and being Active Duty at the same time won't work.





You can always try to apply to become a pilot with a guard or reserve unit, but to gain one of those slots you do need to have some good timing and luck.
My dad went to college for 4 years got his bachelors then joined the air force and got into pilot training and stayed in for 6 years as a fighter pilot then went to reserves and got a job for american airlines and has worked there ever since. Also know that to get into the academy you have to have 4.0+ in high school as well as community service and extracurricular activities.
