The pleasure was all mine! I'm currently in procedures training and I have the utmost respect for your mastery of this aircraft. There is a ton going on inside this flightdeck constantly.
Hey man. My story parallels yours so much. I am 41 and with the support of my wife, went to flight school a year and a half ago. I blew through training and work 7 days a week as a CFI now. I have ATP/CTP in August for my airline and your videos are really helpful. Love to get an update. From one “old guy” to another….good for you for following your dream.
That's awesome! I finished training in January. Finished IOE in February. Was on reserve through april. And now in May I'm a line holder and starting to feel really comfortable in the job. I've got just over 100 hours of turbine time. I need to get off my butt and make new videos. I have several scripts ready to go but I've been busy/lazy. If you contact me through social media, I'll give you more specifics and my personal info.
I just turned 42 in August of this yr. Looking to start my flight training this fall. Looking to have a 36 month transition from Firefighter/Paramedic to paid pilot and work my way up that ladder. Realistic? I have 20 days a month to devote to training...
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m at just shy of 1400 hours instructing at ATP and will be heading to CTP soon. This cleared up a lot of questions I had. It looks really nicely structured which I love. Thank you again and best of luck in your career moving forward!
Thanks so much! I wish you all the luck in the world. I'm going through captain upgrade and checkride in a few days. I promise I'll get back to making videos soon.
I’m 36 and going to an accelerated course in 6 months. I started flying helicopters when I was 19. Long story but I never finished and went down a different path. It’s never been a better time to become a pilot and I’m not getting any younger. I’ve decided to go back and finish my original dream. Except this time I’m going fixed wing. I’m studying hard to knock out my written tests before I start. Thanks for your videos I can’t wait to be where you are!
You are absolutely correct that there's never been a better time, pay and quality of life are amazing at the entry levels. Keep at it, it's 100% worth it!
Thanks a lot for this video it’s very useful to take a peek about ATP Course, I am a Commercial foreign pilot and scheduled to next month at ATP Orlando
Thank you so much for your video Jamie! Next week I start my ATP-CTP, and your video really helped me to see whats going to happen and how is it going to be. Great content!
Hey, thanks for putting out such an in depth and information packed video. I am considering paying to send myself to this course and the information you detailed so well is a huge help. Just wanted to say thanks.
did my atp course there. 1 day in the CRJ sim, 1 day in the B737, 1 day in A320. Shepard for the written, took a couple extra weeks for the written though.
Taking the written at the end of the 7 days seems exhausting. Did you feel like you had much study time through out the week? This will be my reality in about 4 months. Thanks!
Thanks Jamie, was there other foreign guys converting licenses to FAA? I’m looking down the barrel of an ATP-CTP course as part of the process. Great breakdown
Hi. Nice n useful video. Good information to have any knowledge of upcoming ATP courses. Do you any information, Is there any ATP classes available around Chicago?
Hi man, Very nice vid. I'm currently a pilot in French polynesia and looking to get an FAA ATP. I was wondering how did you prepare for the ATM? Heard sheppard was the best to prepare the test but was looking to get the gleim book to study before. What's your thoughts? Safe landings on the ERJ (if you're still on it)
Sheppards is by far the best option by far! I am on the ERJ still, I'm actually sitting in KORD right now, we just timed out for the day so we are dead heading back to Boise to pick up the rest of our trip. Best of luck on the FAA ATP! Hit me up if you have any questions.
@@pilotjamie1176 Ok, you did only sheppards with no other atm prep book? Is it enough for the oral exam after during the ATP? Thanks a lot, merry christmas!
Hello! I’m 35 and wanting to start ATP flight school in Dallas in about 8-12months. Thanks for the videos! I have some tattoos and was about to get them removed because I heard you can’t have any even if they can be covered up, is that true?
