Hi Michael, my name is Buck. I just had my Skywest interview and I rocked it of course thanks for all the tips. I just love your videos. Totally expecting a job. Offer here any day.. the interview was very easy and lots of fun. I also think the interview prep session was wonderful and a must do. I look forward to flying with you in the air. See you soon.
Michael. Glad to see that you are doing well my friend. Just a small suggestion. I saw that you showed a quick google search for an AME. My suggestion is placing the links to these websites in the description. For those that come across this comment, Michael is a great CFI/I with a wealth of knowledge and dedication. I had the honor of flying with him as I was going through my ratings.
I've been doing ATP since mid March, and my official start date is 6/17. So far I've passed my PAR/CAX/FOI and in process for FIA. 118k for ATP, that's factoring in all the equipment and test costs. Its been a ride for sure.
Just passed IR, and now a the two weeks mark of taking a break. Can’t wait to start it up this week to start commercial! Thanks so much for making this video
Don’t give up!! I finished my cfi during covid and it felt like I was never going to get a job. But I promise if you keep going and don’t give up, you will eventually get a job. Go to flight schools in person and give your resume. Hope this helps!
Thanks mate, great video. I’m an Australian student, and just commenced my flight training over here in San Diego. At 53, I was hoping to get my name down for the Skywest program, but unfortunately for me, they require a social security number, which I can’t get on my training visa….otherwise I’d get my name on quick smart. Really enjoying the flight training, and really enjoy your videos. Thanks again.
Wow they require a Socialist Security Number to hire at airline. My friend from Africa got one for free issued to him when he illegally crossed US border. You just have to claim you are refugee and get the red carpet to USA handed to you than showing up using tourist visa
Hi, I I have a question. I am a student pilot with EASA ATPL licenses from Greece.. the question is if I want to get a flight instructor course or Full type rating with base training.. Which is the best way to be in the cockpit in the nearest future with airline?
Hey Micheal I want to become an airline pilot with the goal of getting there sooner than later… my question is it worth going to a flight college and getting a bachelors degree or should I focus on just going to flight school instead, or flight school with online college degree?? Pretty much is it worth getting a degree?
If you get a degree at a flight college you only need 1000 hours to get into the airlines but that degree might take up to 3 years where you can get 1500 hours in 3 years. There’s many ways to get to your destination. Getting a degree is always helpful, but it’s not necessary to become an airline pilot
Hi Michael what’s your thoughts of buying a plane and just building time and then selling it after. It seems faster to get done vs dealing with the whims of students as a CFI.
where do u live.. yur homebase ? what ac u fly ? Yur FO now ? how's pay end up being ? What routes u fky mostly.. out west ? Goodluck.. good vids good info
Sometimes getting licensed outside of America would take even more time. I know converting licenses to other country can take up to a few years. And you can be a 747 pilot with 1500 hours
@@DuragVince- it definitely depends on the person, some people learn faster, other may learn slow. And it’s no only how many times you fly, but also how much you study on your own. I would say under 1.5 years is doable
@@MichaelHsu95 last question I promise :) How can you tell if you’re not cut out for this career? What are some signs and queues you were able to pinpoint about students who weren’t going to make it?
@@DuragVince- the students that aren’t willing to put the work in are not suitable for this career. It’s a long and difficult journey, so you got to make sure you are studying and preparing and not giving up
Dude 🙂 my gcse grades did not went well I almost got All c’s and d’s so am I eligible for being a pilot , does gcse matters for being a pilot ? Although I am really working hard to do well in my A and As level and will continue to do so….
