Dm me on Instagram if you have any other questions! @flywithgarrett
I've been in piloting school for a month now, and man, the learning curve is rough. But every single time I went back up in the air to fly, it kept motivating me to push through it. Videos like this are really getting me more excited to get to this position of airline pilot, especially since it's been a dream job of mine since I was a kid.
awh same, except im not in a school and really want to get into one, but budget's the problem rn
Just had a United Aviate interview last week. Hopefully, I get accepted.
good luck! is that a cadetship program?
Dude just go part 61 or 141. The wait list of that program is insane
I hope you're not whyte lol
@@FlywithMikey96I agree
@@FlywithMikey96 how do you know?
Student pilot here. Thank you for this. My training has gotten “mundane” and it can be overwhelming sometimes to where I’m like “gosh I don’t even want to go in why am I doing this” I gotta see the bigger picture. This is my dream✈️
Does pilot training requires you to be good at physics and math?
@@abdirizakyasin simple math bro I was a D and F student in math if I can do it so can you💀
@@JorgeAlxsRod tnx man appreciate the encouragement
@@abdirizakyasin anytime bro do it you got this my brother
I feel that right now and I haven't even started..
I'm in 9th grade and I really wanna be a pilot when I graduate. This has really helped narrow down my choices. Thanks! 😁
Just got my instrument rated and it was tough, watching these videos help keep the motivation
Hey man, I started training at KCDW in May thanks to your videos.
I am a newly high school senior planning on pursuing aviation so these videos are perfect timing
I'm really happy to be seeing you do these types of videos again! You were the first pilot that I started watching when I decided that I want to follow my dream and seeing you progress and what you have overcome is so awe inspiring! Thanks Garrett :)
Garrett, always super interesting videos! Thanks! 👊
Great video. I have been a pilot for 30 years, and an International Gulfstream Captain since 2012. My son is getting ready to head to ATP for flight training soon. I feel like the sooner he can get in the pipeline, the better. As much as I enjoy flying corporate, there's no denying that the airlines have some massive benefits, especially if you have the years to give. It's a great time to be a pilot.
Hello Bryan! I was skeptical about “ATP”. Do you really think that’s a good place to start pursuing a career in aviation? I want to make sure I don’t make any mistakes and waists my money.
@@isiahbrooks818ATP is a factory. Get your initial PPL from a small part 61 school with a professional instructor. And then you may want to get further ratings there as well. ATP instructors are just recent students and they’re just not good. ATP also overcharges.
@@isiahbrooks818it is it is a great place 😂😂
@@isiahbrooks818 Hi! Current ATP student. I started about a month ago and I am about to transition to my TOL's eval and I and say that in a month with studying, already passing the PAR, and about 11 flights in, I am enjoying my progression a lot. It really depends on what you want your end goal to be. ATP advertises to its students that it has a fast track program to the airlines. A lot of that fast track progression is because of the self study that each student puts in and the constant flying that we have as well.
Although if you are interested in pursuing a career in aviation, I would do research first. Regardless of choosing ATP or a different flightschool, the cost of all of the training and progression towards the checkrides can be pricey. If you haven't already, I would go on a discovery flight with a local flight school to really get the feel of flying in one of their training aircraft to see if it is the right choice for you.
Waiting for my CFII Checkride. Was suppose to be today, but the dpe was a no show! started watching garrett beggining of last year.
Getting my commercial ticket now and this gave me a lot of motivation to keep going after it...appreciate u sir
Im 13 years old by the moment, and ive been investigating some things about being a pilot, mostly cuz I love airplains and flying and i respect you so much ‼️
Thank you for sharing our industry.😊
Happy to watch your videos. Love your informations that you sharing based on your own experience ❤❤❤
Another awesome video! Hope you climb the ladder very quickly
Another awesome video. Thanks!
Man this sounds awesome! I’m 15 right now and I’m thinking about lots of job opportunities because I want to have a successful and happy future, I’m definitely going to do more research on airline piloting as a job alongside some others. Have a good day!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You bring up great points and are well-spoken. This motivates me to keep pushing through my flight training, so that I can fly airplanes- something that brings me great joy- for a living! I'd also be curious to know about how you thought of "side gigs" that occupy your time off.
You can do it, @mpepi8778. Jesus love you : He took your place of punishment by allowing Himself to be nailed to a cross - undeserving of punishment because He is holy and perfect, without sin. He did that - knowing that all of us sinners deserve punishment for breaking God's law, something we can never repay - so those who believe will be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ 💙 please do not rebuke Him, anyone who does not believe in Him will be judged harshly for their sins. Time is running out, your faith should lie in Him. He loves you and will save you , for He is the way, truth and life (John 14:6 ). If you reject Jesus you will be casted into eternal punishment - hell. Jesus loves you. Amen. Here's a prayer for you from Daily Prayer For You:

Thank you for the video! I am a brand new student pilot. I'm looking forward to the journey! I received some hopeful news from Southwest on their program. If not, I still have options prior to graduation
I never realized all the benefits of being an airline pilot. But again well deserved for all the responsibility that comes along with the job. I love your videos. Always informative and the added benefit you’re easy on the eyes! Lol ❤
Pilot Garrett, your posts are very wonderful. Thank you very much for your interview. I wish you a beautiful, sunny and successful week. Happy flight and safe landing of the plane ☀️🌊🏖️🏝️🛫🛬🧑✈️✈️
Omo..... this one touch hard guy Congrats MR T Wishing you the very best
Have a discovery flight planned for this weekend so I'm getting ready to start my own journey. Super excited to take that first step towards my dream!
How did it go?
Cannot wait to get through all the training and get this career change rolling. Airline pilot central stays open in my browser just looking at all the new updates on pilot rates 😂😂
Thanks for all the info!
How old are you
I just love listening to your voice ❤️
I am currently doing my PPL in Quebec city, Canada and you are such an inspiration!
Bon Voyage Jeremie!
Which school?
@@LordBagdanoff CFAQ! :)
Love the video ! More like this please
oooh I guess it's been a minute since I've seen one of your videos... congrats on making Captain!
It’s not his actual uniform.
great video, garrett. super insightful to see the QOL at the airlines. i’m about 2 months into flight school. about to do my first solo long distance flight
How did it go man?
@@ammanpandde5097 everything is going smoothly so far. just did my 3rd solo xc. flew 2.5 hours by myself today actually. moving on to checkride prep
Hey man I’m really considering going to flight school but i wondering what is the work load like as a student? Is it more in the books studying or more in the air flying completing your hours?
@@bud7861 flights are only 2 hour blocks. 60-90 min of actual flight time. so the rest of your time will be studying. unless you have other obligations, especially in the beginning, just focus on immersing yourself in everything aviation. it takes a lot of focus and memorization. it’s similar to chess, you want to stay a few steps ahead of the airplane at all times
Garrett’s favorite overnight in the regionals was Tri-cities!
Congrats on your pay raise yesterday. I'm with Delta and My brother is at American as well.
Thanks for the video 😊
Yes, please post more!
At the moment, I am studying Meteo ATPL. Thanks for the video and motivation I really need it, for those that want to pursuit this career I strongly recommend the test are hard but definitely not impossible.
God is good for sending people like Him. Jesus is God and He is holy ❤ today's wonderful prayer is from Daily Prayer For You. You are welcomed to come and pray ❤❤
Nice vid man ❤️🔥
God bless you for your service to humanity. Peace be unto you and your family.
Love your videos
Great video Garret!
Please do a video on paths possible to take to become an airline pilot when funding is a problem. It has been my dream to fly commercial before I knew how to walk (alright exaggerating here) and I grew up watching Nat Geos Aircrash Investigation (yes cliche too). You inspire me, for that I say thank you!
Joint the military I did it’s free and I became an AA captain
What’s the age limit?
@@loveoneanotherasihaveloved8327 35
I'm in the UK and things are very different over here. Especially with budget carriers it can be very difficult to get a day off when you want one and the amount of seniority you have makes no difference whatsoever. The pay is a lot less than $100 an hour for FO - halve that figure and you'll be about right. There are no or negligible staff travel concessions unless you make it to the likes of BA.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade Garrett and I really enjoy your videos and I would agree that being an airline pilot has many plus points but I think it's important that guys this side of the pond go into the career with their eyes open. It's not until they are able to graduate to the likes of BA or Emirates that they will see terms and conditions approaching those in the USA that you mention.
I’m also in the UK wanting to be a pilot , is it worth it ?
@@chimchimbtstrash4583if it's your dream just do it man
Please do a video on how to get your certificates while working. Please!!! Love your videos
Parabéns Ray 😊❤
Greetings & Happy Holidays. Thank you for these very informative videos. I'm curious, where did you go to school to learn to fly? Also, what pilot pipeline program did you select coming out of school?
He’s back
Lucky you being happy flyer....well done
Can you do a video talking about the schooling process of becoming a pilot?
I think he has already done one. Perhaps check his previous videos
I think the last video was before covid or around that time. It is good to get a updated video. Things change. I’m also interested in this as I’m getting ready for my first medical exam. Haven’t picked a school yet.
This is the video he filmed previously like 4 years ago. (ruclips.net/video/1HAXMHSvG5M/видео.html). It is also good to get updated information
Beautiful Garrett❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Garrett. Really enjoy the videos and behind the scenes of the Pilot life. Just a quick question. Are you required to have or get a passport to be hired by a Regional carrier, especially since you are only flying in the U.S.? Thanks and keep up the great work.
great video
Just recently started really thinking about becoming. pilot myself ive been studying to fly drones because I love the views but I dont think there is enough money in it.... now becoming a pilot might be something id want to try for a few years instead of working on a cruise ship.
Great video 🍻
Im 13 and my dream is to become an airline pilot, and I'm looking to make that dream become the reality of my future. This video helped a lot, I'm even more determined now. Your videos are so informative, thanks so much!
Once you get out of high school, do it! I’m 31 and tomorrow I will get my health physical for my medical card so I can start my pilot journey. I would have went on the pilot journey fresh out of high school if I could be your age again.
@@miguelrobb5719 Thank you so much for your advice! Thats really motivating. I wish you luck on your pilot journey, and I hope for a successful future for you!
if you are not rich, your parents and you should start saving now! I'm a senior in high school and I wish my parents saved more for me it is a lot more stressful if you start late.
@@meg_28 Thank you so so much for the advice! My dad makes much more money than the average currently, so we are financially very stable at the moment, but I'm gonna start saving right away! Thank you for your kindness and good luck with your future!😁
Same im 14 turning 15 tomorrow i wanna become a pilot too!
Thanks for reviving my childhood dreams that I gave up on.
Sounds great apv Bingo. NY.
thank you
Great Video 🥰
Traveling and Seeing the world would bet biggest motivation in becoming a pilot, but honestly some of the close calls in the air from unruly passengers to problematic aircrafts would be my biggest concern.
I just got my CFI and feel like i’m just getting started. Takes forever to get the airlines. One day though.
I’m 17 and hope to be a pilot in the next few years, this helped a lot
Same but 19
Same 15 but my eyes are so shit i need to make sure i qualify for lasik 😭
Thanks for being so informative sharing all this with us ❤
@@sohumpatel3364you can also apply for a SODA statement of demonstrated ability if your eyes aren’t that bad and don’t have any deteriorating conditions and it gives you the same rights as a first class
Easy jet pilot ere. Bin flyin since 2015. Corperal captain 3 STRAP. You can do it guys takes abit of cash outta ya pockettt but easy wen tha puts ya head to it. Sum tames I fell like given up but tha knows what. Am ere na swoopin swoopin thru clouds like a dove bird 🦅 epic
Hi Garret, were are you now?? 💕 God bless you ❤️
Take care as a pilot . We’ve been passengers in American Airlines many time😁
I have my first flight lesson on Wednesday, hope I can become a commercial pilot someday
You can!
@@carystevensky thanks
I’m 15 and looking to become a commercial pilot, what pathway should I take? Military? College? Flight school? Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Hey Garrett! Any advice during instrument rating???
I’m a commercial pilot building flight time! It’s tough but can’t wait till I’m at atp minimums
I have 60hrs and still feel that anxiety and nervousness before I fly. Does that go away eventually when you become experienced?
@@Adam-hx1gw yes, it does go away, but everyone is different. I recommend keeping your personal minimum’s high for a while until you feel more confident. Start flying with more experienced pilots that will help you adjust to lower personal minimums.
How are you building time? It’s difficult to get a job even with 500 hours
I always been trying to get on as a flight ✈️ attendant but not yet got hired for all the benefits and the free flights? It’s always been a dream for me is to become an a flight ✈️ attendant
What’s your thoughts on airline cadet programs? Something like southwest 225
Thank you. I got my commercial license. But I need to get in the hours. Without working for an airline, you can’t get the hours. Catch 22. I wish I had joined a cadet scheme. Then at least all is covered. I spent £100,000. Minimum. But hopefully il get something soon. At present just business ventures with are ok
Everything you mentioned is valubale and important. I really wanna know if now is still a good time to start an aviation career to become a pilot and find a job since we here about pilot shortage, so any thoughts about that? How long do you think that the shortage will last before the airlines resolve it?
Right now every estimate puts the shortage lasting 2-3 decades.
So you have plenty of time.
Great minds think alike- just posted a similar video lol! Love the content- the time is nooooowwww
Hi Garrett! I was wondering what aircraft do u fly, and for what airline?
Wow I’m sold, I’m working on my ppl
Thank you
1. schedule flexibility
There is a lot of free time
2. Seat availability
You can go anywhere you want without having to worry about seat
3. Flexibility
You might not be able to get the flight that you want but here are also other alternative
4. Love of aviation
You want to become a pilots
5. Pay
Pilots get good pay
6. Unique Experiences
You get to do things that any other job wouldn't allow.
How do you fit gym into your schedule? Do you just use hotel gyms?
I don’t think you understand how a 401(k) works lol. The airline is not putting money into your account AND matching. They are just matching what you put. Usually there’s some sort of max they will match up to. Rest is on you to put away.
I’ve been going back and forth from wanting to fly helicopters or planes to military to civilian. Seems airline you get paid a shit Ton more but less of a life. Same with military, Helicopter’s you get paid fuck all for a long time but better hours and are really in control of the aircraft & flying missions. I am insanely passionate about all things flying, the only thing that really puts me off the airline industry is the control. How much are you actually doing whilst in the air? Are you just pressing autopilot and kicking back or are you flying it?
Just more fuel to the fire. Thanks. 160ish hours in and getting ready to knock out my instrument. I really want to do this
Maybe Australia is different, that could take years,I've never flown ever,that plane looks huge & Im bad at parking 😅
I might miss the landing oooppps 😮
hey garret do you know the difference of pay between canadian and american airline pilots. Is there much of a difference at all between the two?
I love this! The only downfall is getting through flight training and the massive cost. With the profits all these airlines are making you would think they would start recruiting cadets and footing the bill of training until they can get the 1,500 TT flight hours. In turn candidates sign contracts binding them to time owed for x amount of years. Once this is done, I can almost guarantee, your shortage will diminish. Grab people off the streets and put them through training. All these airlines can afford to do so, I guantee it.
I believe some do, but you need to be an employee first
This.
Like the trucking industry
when you say days off.. is that annual? or monthly?
Hey how are you and NYC doing? Is Bella with you (I hope). Take care and I look for new postings. Dave
I'm canadian, also have my euro citizenship, but am thinking of doing flight training in America with the hopes of living on base. What are your thoughts on Europe and Canada license, and what's the process if one decides to live in another country. Any recommendations on a flight school
How many days are you on days, evenings, graveyard shift , how is often is rotation
Those who don’t have rich parents, how did you pay for flight school, and how long did it take to get those funds? Did you take out a loan? And if so how quickly could you get out of debt?
Could you do a video on Cadet programs?
Thank you . Where should I start?My dream job is to become a pilot
Whats pay like in the uk for narrow body FOs and captains and wide body FOs and captains
I'm concered about high cost of housing, while living close to a hub. How many times a week does a new regiinal pilot leave out in a week? I'd be happy to live an hour or hour and a half away from the airport if I only have to drive in once a week.
Garrett, I’m 44 and just signed up to ATP…will be starting next year in Feb. What are your thoughts on the fact that I’m older and trying to get hired by the airlines, do you think there’s a chance the airlines will hire someone older?
one could say they would be more willing to hire an older person than a younger person
@@ahmedfarah4094not true as it’s all experienced based.
You can be with an airline by 46 or so. And fly for 19 years between Part 121 regional and major. Then fly for a NetJets, or Flexjet, or other Part 135 operators into your 70s if you desire. All depends on ability to maintain medical.
Would love to be a pilot. Been my dream since I was a kid. I'm 28 now with a family and no disposable income or savings to even start to pay the enormous amount to even get my private's pilot license let alone all the steps past that to get the different ratings and certifications to go commercial. Do you have any advice for someone to get into this career being in a situation like mine?
Garrett planes by 2040/2050 will be fully automated? Serious question. Answer me please that my dream
2:34 Will this also apply if you're flying with someone?
when it comes to quality of life, finding the best corporate pilot job is the way to go. When it comes to money and longevity, its the legacy airlines.
Can you elaborate on why that is. Student pilot here confused on which route to take.
@@derrick2251 my current job has me flying to Europe, Hawaii, Asia and domestic with at least a 5 day layover with 14 days off a month. I’ve been to Iceland and Greece with a 13 day layover so you’re getting paid while having a free vacation since lots of corporate jobs pay salary not hourly.
if u enjoy being on call for 15 days a month then sure i guess it is. and unless you're personally dating the daughter of a millionaire, getting a 91/135 job will be pretty competitive. rich folks love flying to nice places so u shud def try it out at least. it was a nice break from flying to EWR, JFK, ATL, MDW all the time.
Thanks you for sharing this information handsome and everything you do as airline pilot 👨✈️ 🥰✨
I’m can’t seem more RUclips video and have Bella back in the vlog with you soon 🐶🦴🐾
he’s not interested
quit eating a lot and then when you lose weight, just maybe you’ll have a chance
How do international AA pilot shifts work? For example, if you leave from JFK, do you get to LHR and then return to JFK or can they send you to LAX etc?
Hey Garrett just noticed 4 white stripes congratulation Captain ,what's your bird 737max??? ,always wanted to be a Pilot couldn't pass medical now 66yrs old and still love the industry ,and flying .

Yeh I did wonder he hasn't been with AA very long
What flight school did you go to and how much was the tuition?
Beautiful and intelligent,god bless you❤❤❤❤❤
High school grads can be pilots now, so even truck drivers are becoming pilots. The industry will be flooded to the point that wage growth will be minimal in the coming years. There has been a recent bump in wages due to the more pilots retiring, but that's over now.
