Great video! The younger generation is lucky to have good assets like this vid to do their future career research.

You didn't mention the big one: the medical.

I flew multi-engine biz props in the 1960s for an FBO but my "real" job was engineering (aerospace, incl some work for Boeing, on the 747). I viewed airlines as likely too unstable and knew if you picked a loser you started all over at the bottom of the seniority list. But two buddies in my CAP Squadron went on to great life-long careers with United and Piedmont>USAir, both retiring as very senior Captain. Now well into my 80s, I'm flying an awesome sim setup, mostly the Zibo 737-800. The 737 is a great bird and, though a mix of old and new tech, is still very appealing to me.

Also the aviation is overregulated you will need to pass many courses just formaly like dangerous goods aviation security rvsm pbn etc, and also if you wish to change country of registration of aircraft you fly most probably in that country, you will not be considered to be a pilot with your license , so will need to prove that passing through again at least few subjects tests, for validation or even getting a new license of that country.

I’m glad I didn’t make it into the military or airlines. Now I just fly for fun when I want to . Much more fun and less stress.

still want to become a commercial pilot :)

Do you have any thoughts on the Destination 225 program?

My navigation abilities are so poor, I rely on google maps much more than the average person, and lose ways even within a familiar, but large building like a hospital. I think being a pilot is not for me. (Apart from those reasons mentioned already). Best wishes for those who aspire to be one.

If you haven't lost a job in the aviation industry yet, you will...

Trust me, NOBODY would want me as a pilot.

Reason #9, It’s a job.

The above listed are not an obstacle for those in love to the sky…😢

#1 reason: cost 100 thousand$$$ or more😮 and no guarantee of a position flying position
