Airline Pilot Premium Pay: How to Make $1,000,000 a Year 

Congratulations and way to go!

Well, you’re set to embark on the most thrilling adventure that will deliver the highest of highs and some of the most frustrating lows. Have fun with it! Congratulations on just getting to where you are now!

Congrats! I’m right at the beginning doing ground school😂

Me as a student pilot: 🧍🏾‍♂️

In curently going working on my private pilots license in highschool and going to college for professional aviation

Congrats!!

Can’t wait to see you in the skies

I just started flight school 2 months ago. Word of advice, get started on the ground knowledge! Get any of the written exams out of the way that you can. For me, the flying has come easy but the ground knowledge is an insane amount to start to conquer. I am at an accelerated program but I would imagine it's a lot regardless.

@@chaseseuffert3551 I'll be in an accelerated program as well. I lucked out and met an instructor who is helping me with ground knowledge prior to starting. Gives him practice instructing and me the ability to learn beforehand.

@@chaseseuffert3551what school? I live in Ga and currently looking for one

How’s flight school so far?

So informative

Congratulations on what ?

try naval aviator as well if you don’t get selected on the marine board. must have at least 2.5 gpa and astb score of 7’s and above and you auto qual for selection

@@toegum7451 SNA was my original first choice but my navy officer recruiter just doesn’t have the time for me, I think he covers too much area honestly or is too busy in general. MC oso has always been on point even though I took a break from the process so that’s just where I’m trying now, still studying for the ASTB but my gpa is 3.0 in finance so as long as my scores are solid I’m confident I’ll be some sort of select even if it’s a deep select. Going to try and reach out to the navy officer recruiter again soon though

مرحبا فهد كيف حالك انا ايضا راح ابدا في سبتمبر ان شاء الله

@@liamjohnson1540 بتوفيق ان شاء الله في اي مدرسه راح تدرس؟

Don’t do it bro, biggest disappointment ever

@@Bro-wb4yr why do you care?

@@fahadalbalushi684 cause I’m an airline pilot

The only thing money cannot buy is health.

Not with the cost of living being so high nationwide across the USA and Canada. You need medical savings and emergency money.

@@CHGMANCHG live within your means. If you can’t make it on a major airline pilots pay, then you messed up somewhere. If you want to drive a Ferrari, don’t become an airline pilot.

​@@amouredsaint872Look. The cost of living, cost of healthcare, cost of insurances, cost of groceries, cost of utilities and cost of education tuition is so high that you can't manage your finances.

​@@amouredsaint872That is not true. The cost of living is so high that airline pilot wages cannot no longer keep up.

@@amouredsaint872agreed. People need to just stay modest and humble. It’s ok to buy a simple house or drive modest cars and having a ton of cash in investments or the bank. Being able to “not need the job” if things happen is huge for living a good life

Base assignments are contingent on your seat, your aircraft and your seniority (longevity with the company). Some bases are “senior” and some are “junior.” Typically once you can hold a particular base and you are awarded that base you cannot be pushed out. However, if the company wants to shrink the size of a base or even close it you can be displaced. Meaning, pushed out of a base involuntarily.

Go to a 2 year college college and get an associates degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology, get your A&P license, Remote Pilot license, Aircraft Dispatcher License, AGI/IGI Ground Instructor license. Get your private, IFR, commercial, and multi engine under part 61. Get your commercial single engine sea, commercial glider and sport gyroplane. Don't bother going to a 4 year college nor university because you will rack up debt with no hope of getting a job in your field to study.

Part 61. Do not train under part 141 nor 142. 141/141 is way too expensive.

Looks like Garrett is a 1st officer by his stripes.

Yea I definitely can’t make that at my rate. These are typically captains.

which flight school u studied in

Coming soon!

If he doesn't care about it while doing it he certainly doesn't care about your comment

He talked about in a past RU-vid video and TikTok. They can’t have beards. They have to have shave faces because of the masks.

Some of the cargo airliners allow beards. Like my company Atlas Air. I believe UPS allows beards too. It’s a good thing because we are all pirates. We wear the same oxygen masks. It’s more for show to the public than safety these days.

I believe everything you say. I am a big skeptic about those incentives advertised.

What country are you from?

Exactly bro you said it. IN EUROPE. US in on another level

Why, they pay our pilots a lot. Military says they make that, but a lot of those pilots make more than 50k too. I guess our airlines are bigger, so if you have smaller ones that can't pay that makes sense. Aviation is not profitable from flying alone.

You need all the money you can with the cost of living skyrocketing nationwide across the USA and Canada. You need medical savings and emergency 🦺 money. I know what the Bible says but you have to forgo biblical standards to put a roof over your head and feed your family.

When did he ever say he was a millionaire?

@@austinwaits1425 he lives pay cheque to pay cheque and will be lucky to have a networth over $2 million before retires

Any more pics of Slovenia,besides picking up trips,pilots make $ from utube that's nice ,

Family first for me. But it’s nice to know you can make extra money if you need/want to.

I’m also in the business. I’ve always found this sentiment to be misguided. Work smarter, not harder. 3 days of pay for 1 day of work sounds amazing. You can chase cheddar and have excellent quality of life with your wife and children at the same time. Try harder.

@@flywithgarrettGreat content and love your energy Bro! I’m an avionics tech with 35 yrs of experience. Wanted to be an airline pilot when I was young in the late 1980s after immigrating to U.S. I didn’t know how and never met a person passionate as I’m with knowledge and “ways to achieve it” as I could guide a younger version of me to be a pilot now. This is why I love your content because you provide some guidance and perhaps would consider creating a A-Z guideline “how become a pilot with an ATP rating” , so any teenager or a young adult has a checklist they could work with to achieve their dream job as an airline pilot. All I know is, you rarely run into a pilot who’s “just doing my job” vs most that are absolutely passionate about flying. As hard as you’re working, living and enjoying your life… make sure to max out your 401k contributions every year invested in diversified investments (compare fees and returns to the S&P 500 as a bench mark) and Roth IRA (if you qualify for it), so that investment grows as you age. Compound interest returns does not show up overnight though it will be working for you every day and will be waiting for you when you arrive into your late 50s. Wish you good weather and safe flights in all your journeys!
