Best advice for pilots: Be American or marry an American to become a US pilot 😂
Too expensive!!!! Some of my friends are already 180k in debt and are chair flying with ATP and only have their IR!!
This guy is wrong! The ATP was always 1,500 hours. The commercial license was and still is 250 hours. No one today works as an airline pilot without the ATP. There was a time when the copilot only needed a commercial license.
I am currently a student pilot with about 7-8 months left before I’m completely licensed (cfI,CFII,ppl,commercial) with single engine and multi engine hours (prop) I want to work for the airlines, am I on the right track? I go to school American Flyers kpmp
I'm a CPL with about 330 hours hoping to get my instructor tickets early next year. I fear I'm going to miss the bus, though, I hear rumblings that hiring is slowing fast.
This is the biggest flight school scam going, according to the FAA, there are plenty of qualified pilots to need the needs of airlines. Many will be stuck with massive debt and no job. I would not waste money on flight training as there is no pilot shortage.
I got my PPL in August but I am making sure that I am totally secure in my cybersecurity career before moving forward. I honestly don’t recommend anyone to become a pilot unless they have experience/credentials in another trade/career field. You could have all the seniority in the world, but something like Covid could absolutely wreck you if you didn’t want to take the vaccine.
I’ve thought about becoming a pilot but those small airplanes scare me!
Wow, just happened on here by chance, Tristan is HANDSOME!
I don't know about the US, but in Europe, not to mention Asia, this crisis is just beginning. Every airline is buying planes like crazy, pilots are in short supply, especially due to the events of the past years. From my point of view, this crisis will take a few more years to reach its peak. But I understand that talking about European and American aviation is not the same
One thing I'd add from the perspective of someone 3 decades into this:
It's good to see you, Goose.
I was anxious of whether or not I would go to a flight school, since I heard about this news back in 2022. Now I’m determined to go to a flight school and even if I started from zero experience and there’s a chance I would not attain my certification in time, at least I’ve tried my best and I still have my degree to fall back on. also if it all works out in the end, I wouldnt be regretful for the rest of my life of not having to take on this opportunity. Best of luck to everyone who’s in the same situation as myself!
great content as usual!!!! keep up the great work, the video was very interesting, and the presentation was fantastic as always.
ATP has always been 1500 hrs. What the FAA changed was the requirement to have an ATP to sit in the right seat. Prior to that the FAA only required a comm/inst Multi license to sit in the right seat and gain experience toward that 1500 hours.
I would love a topic on what you would recommend for someone who's completely green, to get their foot through the door and get their airline path started. I'm in love with planes and would really like to do a career change. Thank you so much!
Great video! My dream is to fly for Aer Lingus or Qantas as I have a dual citizenship, I feel the big airlines need to promote more funded training as the cost of a CPL is insane for those fresh out of high school or secondary school, I'm currently training towards my PPL and I’m loving every bit but the crazy costs are slowing myself and others in my position which will also hurt airlines hiring
Thanks for posting, I'm interested in becoming a pilot and wondering if college would be a good fit? Are furloughs always about seniority, or would me having a degree help in that manner? If not, is there any point to getting a degree at all? Thanks!
Great short form, direct and to the point content.
Hello Tristian, thank you for your insight. Last year I finished my ATPL with about 220 hours while working on a full time job and since then I've been searching for pilot hirings without a Type Rating in Europe. Surprisingly, I only was able to apply to 3 airlines that fulfilled that criteria and nobody gave me any feedback. Still waiting 🤔 I didn't consider myself to become a flight intructor because I'm still employed working full time. Any advice on that situation? Thanks
