  • Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc, under Part 91... OT, or "Open Time" flying, is a great way to increase your earnings and flight time per month. Did you know that most airlines are contractually required to offer a certain amount of OT per month? You'll find a wide range of OT pay scales ranging from 115%-300% depending on the airline you work for. Picking up an OT trip takes away guaranteed off time, but can be a great opportunity if it fits into your schedule and goals for the month.

    Before I became an airline pilot, I'd always heard about how pilots have the opportunity to make a good bit of extra money by "picking up" extra trips on the side. While every airline has a different process and set of policies, I hope this gives you a good overview of what you can expect. Is there something else you want to learn about becoming an airline pilot? Leave me a comment below with video ideas!

      That is exactly the point.
      Every video has a message that it’s produced in partnership with the airline.
      Swayne has also said that he’s doing these videos to help people understand the job to assist with the Pilot shortage that was around before COVID (and will come back after COVID).
