I was an Air Force pilot for 10 years. I flew helos, and I flew fixed wing. I had to go to flight school for both.
Helo training is about 10 months to get your wings. Then there is follow-on training designed to train you to fly the specific aircraft and mission for your first assignment. This follow-on training lasts from 3 to 6 months. After arriving at your first unit of assignment you will receive even more training.
Fixed wing flight school (UPT, Undergraduate Pilot Training) takes one year. The follow-on training timeline is similar to that of helo training.
The whole thing is an experience that is well worth the time spent.
It takes about 10-15 years it depends, But a bad ass pilot takes about 5-10 seconds
FAA requires 40 hours, the average hat most people do is between 60 and 70.
Yes. You do need to go to flight School to train how to become a pilot. It depends on how long it takes to be a pilot.

It takes six to eight years training to become a British airways pilot and it takes more years to get your wings.
To fly an Air Force jet you must be a commissioned officer. To become a commissioned officer requires a bachelor's degree, normally a four year program.

The regional airlines typically hire applicants with at least a two year associates degree. Many require at least that to apply. The major airlines prefer a 4 year bachelors degree of their applicants, even if it is not a hard requirement with some carriers. The degree can be in any subject.
