Hey all, Trying to figure out the best way to get my ratings for my plans. Currently have my private and 130 hours. 15 in a chancellor 414 and 15 in a cj1. Those 30 hours are dual received with a buddy who flies corporate (he is an MEI so perfectly legal). Planning to knock out my instrument...

Hey all, posted here a couple times pre Covid and now I’m starting to worry if dropping nearly 100k for flight training/school is a good idea. I have two questions- What is the likely hood of the pilot shortage coming back? At this point in time, I’m aiming more towards corporate flying than...

Hey all, quick question as I’m weighing my options on the whole AA/BA path. The plan is to finish flight school and work for a part 135 operation while I get my associates. If I can log turbine time and rack up decent hours, what are my chances of getting hired on at Southwest as an FO? Also...

My local college offers a Profession Pilot course that qualifies you for a R-ATP at 1250 hours. However, it’s an associate degree. So I can spend 70k for...

I’m about to start Commerical flight school and wanted to get you guys opinion. What’s the best company to work for that you’re home most nights. Obviously with this job you’re gonna be gone some and that’s fine I just don’t wanna be gone weeks at a time. Would rather stay away from airlines...

Hey everyone, just found this website and figured I’d ask my question. Someone please tell me if I’m crazy on my thought process. I just graduated high school and am planning to become a pilot (duh). My goal would be flex jet ultimately. My question is, if i go through the company ATP (which...
