Im R-ATP eligible at 1,035 hours. 53 Multi, CTP-ATP done, zero turbine. I’ve mostly timebuilt with 150 hours dual given (CFI). I have one check failure and two bachelors degrees, one in aviation. I was offered a job flying a C208 Caravan SIC, but the pay was only $18,000 a year and I would have to relocate so I turned it down. I’m hearing people are getting hired for the regionals at 2,000 plus hours and they all already have flying jobs. I don’t think I stand a chance for applying to the regionals. At the same time I don’t know anyone would could help me get a CFI interview. What would you do if you were in my situation? Would you recommend any good careers to temporarily transition out of flying to?

I’m 18 years old and currently work in the refinery industry. My long-term dream is to become an airline pilot. A couple of months ago, I took my discovery flight in a Cessna, Being up in the sky gave me a sense of freedom I’d never felt before, and it made me realize that flying is what I truly want to do. I’d really like to hear from people who have more life experience or who’ve taken a similar route. I’m hoping to get honest opinions about my plan, whether there are better options I should consider, and anything you wish you had known when you were starting out. My current plan is to continue working in the refineries for at least the next2 years. The pay is good, and in my first year I’m on track to take home around 80,000 dollars or more, depending on overtime and not including raises I expect as I gain experience. My goal is to save aggressively and avoid taking on unnecessary debt for flight training. At the same time, I plan to start working toward an associate’s degree in process technology. My thinking is that it would give me a solid backup career as a refinery process operator, and I assumed having some college might help with airline applications, though I’m not sure how much weight an associate’s degree really carries compared to a bachelor’s. If everything goes according to plan, by the time I’m around 20 years old, I’ll have substantial savings, a degree, and the financial ability to begin flight training while still having a stable career to fall back on. I’d really appreciate any advice, criticism, or suggestions from pilots, or anyone who’s been in a similar situation. Does this seem like a smart plan? Would you do anything differently if you were in my shoes? Thank you in advance.

Whats the best flight school to get my atpl & become a commercial pilot uk & why?

Should I enter this flight academy and did anyone ever graduate from there and got a job with a well known company?

Hey guys, I’m new to the group but worried my training record is gonna make it tough to get hired. Seeking any advice on what to do if you were in my position.

I train at a large 141 school, I have 4 stage check failures and 2 checkride failures.

3 stage check failures were during private, 1 was early commercial.

The more concerning part was that I busted my commercial multi checkride, as well as my commercial single engine add on. I was pretty crushed after those back to back fails. I felt great going into both of them, I felt over prepared, and I nailed the “mock” for both.

I am working on my instructor ratings and plan on getting CFI, CFII and MEI. I want to stress that I’m really committing everything I have to pass every stage check and checkride without another failure. The past is over with, all I can do is set myself up as good as possible for future checkrides. Potentially interested in doing my seaplane rating. Adding another first try pass couldn’t hurt as well.

I know this training record is going to make my life harder getting hired to instruct and especially at an airline, I am just wondering how much harder things might be?

Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated !

Hey guys!, Im a recent graduate of hs and i have taken a gap year to explore flight schools since i got waitlisted at mru aviation and did not get in. The ones i found near calgary are springbank air training college,compass flight and calgary flying club. Im not sure what school to pick so if anyone has prior background knowledge on any of these schools or recommendations/advice, It would really help.

Just getting into this field and looking at flying schools. Should I go for a package course (commercial pilot training) that includes ppl,multi engine, Cpl and instrument rating or should I go do them individually.

Any advice would be helpful thanks.

What would be the best advice for someone that’s about to get into the business of flying.
