How does one get into that? How does one go about learning to fly a plane?

There are a few different ways to get into aviation, but I'm not sure I'd get in now and try to make a career out of it.

Lessons- you'll need $$$$. You're probably north of $10K now for a private pilot's license and that won't get you in the door anywhere, except the military. And for the military, I'm not sure I'd get in now and try to make a career out of it.

There are also many schools that you can graduate with $100K student loans and they will get you the ratings you'll need to make $18K a year at a regional with potential to flow to a major after you get the 1000 hrs of Pilot-in-command time you'll need to be hired.
