Hey Michael great videos. Just wondering did you apply through pilot credentials? Where they asked sorta simple questions with other questions and little summary responses and quizzes/ test ?
Hey thanks for the videos on this program, I actually got in the program and beginning my training soon, making all the videos really helped with the decision I made.
Thank you for watching my videos and leaving comment. Congratulations on getting into the program, that’s a huge deal! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
@@NotTheMadKing well I heard back from them in a few days after I applied and then told me in a email that I need to complete the assessment and then if i do good in the assessment i will be sent another email about the next step which is the interview portion of the application. Do you have a PPL? and also did you make a good resume because that has affect on the application.
I think of mentors as books: If you are not proactive and go to them, they are not going to come to you. You said that you were not sure if your mentor was supposed to reach out to you, or the other way around. Who has the questions and who has the experience, and may have the answers?
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. I know you will love San Diego, feel free to reach out if you need any help. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
This seems like a route for someone to take who wants to be a pilot a little later in life like late 20’s/early 30’s to make up for lost time. Two big questions: 1. Did you apply/have any scholarships during the process to help reduce overall cost/have money to spend while in the program? 2. I know that airlines won’t allow visible tattoos but employ people with them provided they are covered up at all times while flying/commuting to fly. Are you able to have visible tattoos (like forearms and legs) in the program/have to cover them up?
Hey, Michael I just heard back from AA Cadet Academy Team and I made it past the first round of the selection process. They have scheduled a virtual interview with me this upcoming week and I was wondering if you had any advice on how to prepare for this interview. I'd love to hear your input since you have already been through the process. Thanks!
Hi Gus, that is great news! As for the interview they just want to get to know you and see why you want to become a pilot, as for the skills test you can’t really study it. I’m sure it will go great, let me know if you any more questions. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
I fly often and sit by cockpit watching them block off with bev cart to let the pilots out and sit in while on auto pilot I also took my son in the cockpit for pictures in FL I’ve always had a passion for flying my mom grew up and worked at Logan Boston since her teens the Cautillo family has had ties to Marriott Boston and Sky Chef and Phyllis & Marion would fly to get Coffee I’d like to follow in the footsteps.
I was just accepted to the American Academy, Coast Flight as well… where are you now with your training ? and that’s a pretty major fault on the schools part you weren’t able to get multi engine with the amount they charged you for…. Where did you go to get multi after and how did you afford it?
I’m a current employee for American and wondering about this program. Love your videos. If I come in with a PPL. How long would the program take then ? And yes I’ve liked and subscribed 😊
Yay thank you for watching and liking and subscribing!! If you come in with your ppl it would take around 8-10 months. But it could be longer or shorter depending on how fast your progress. Feel free to reach out on instagram if you have any more questions. Right now is the perfect time to be a pilot!
I really want to go in and meet my kids grand mom Amy, See Nick & Ashly my kids aunt and uncle they all live in Santiago Related to Orena T Davis Atchason
I’m currently going to college for my professional pilot degree. I was looking into the AA cadet program and I had applied. Is it difficult to get into the program or is it like applying for a college?
Hi Donny, thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. this program is designed for people with little to no experience. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
Hey, thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. You got to be one of their favorites in order to get hired by them haha. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. You can find a way to get a co signer or save up and pay out of pocket. Flight training is very expensive but worth the investment. Be sure to subscribe for more
Been enjoying your videos Michael, very insightful and always some good takeaways. Curious if you’re open to some direct messaging over email? Your remarks about Coast Flight Academy resonated for sure. I’m enrolled @ San Diego and will be starting in a couple of months (all things considered). My questions have to do with specificity in the deliverables (as advertised by the Academy) relative to both Coast and the AA Cadet program, as well as overall exposure to recruiters/airlines/tee’d up interviews, and what you experienced up against the VALUE. Promise I won’t waste your time, but your experiential insights would be appreciated as it seems you’ve gone through the exact same path that I have planned very soon. Are you open to a direct line of communication?
Hey Michael! Just to clarify from a time perspective, it is one year of classes and working with instructor, and then you finish up your hours on your own after completing that one year?
Hi Danny, thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. According to the website they only accept people that are legally allowed to work in America. Hope you found this video helpful, be sure to subscribe would really appreciate it
How many times a week are you at the location flying? Is it every day? Is it a flexible schedule? Since you get all the certificates and licenses in just a year. Thanks
You can't give housing a 7/10 just because you couldn't use all the facilities due to the pandemic. You should base it on what was offered, and how much you value that, if the pandemic hadn't happened.
Hope you enjoyed the video. But the pandemic did happen and I’m still paying for all the facilities that I can’t use… be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
@@MichaelHsu95 agreed... but they couldn't allow you to use them because of the laws and regulation at that time, however misguided they may have been in hindsight. anyways, just my two cents on that piece. Rest of the video was good, thanks for providing your insights!
so i pose a question so does the aa cadet academy provide housing if you get hired as a cfi or no i cant find it anywhere on their website or on any forums ?
When you say you should "bug them" with emails while going through the application process, who do you mean by "them"? I've been in contact with someone at CAE (Pheonix Location), but haven't talked with anyone directly at American.
Hello! Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. Unfortunately you have to be an American citizen to join. However I did teach at an international flight school that had students from around the world. Send me a dm if you are interested to be learn how to fly in California. And be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it
Hey Vanessa, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. The program includes all of your training hours. When you finish the program you will have around 250-300 hours. Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions. And be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!
Hey, thank you so much for watching my video. Hope you found it helpful. Unfortunately there is only one San Diego location. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it!
@@MichaelHsu95 oh im sorry, that was confusing. What i meant was where are the other locations? You mention Texas, are there more? And if so, is it possible to request? Thanks for responding!!!
Hi Deo, thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. Well if it was guaranteed CFI I would be working there haha. Nothing is Guaranteed. Hope this video helped, please let me know if you have other questions. Be sure to subscribe would really appreciate it
Unless the tattoos are on your face, they should be well hidden under your uniform, therefore, they shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure some commercial pilots are ex-military pilots with tattoos.
