- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2023
- The airline pilot shortage is a dynamic that has been talked about for the last couple decades. A myriad of factors including mandatory retirements and industry downturn have led us to the moment we are in now. Today we are in the largest hiring boom that the aviation industry has had and will ever see. Contained in this video is the best piece of advice you will receive if you want to become and airline pilot someday.

One thing I'd add from the perspective of someone 3 decades into this:
This is a unique time in the history of the industry. Historically, there has been a pilot surplus, not a pilot shortage.
If you make it from a C172 to a 737 or A320 in 2 or 3 years, you've won the f***ing lottery. The Captains you'll be flying with almost certainly had a far, far longer path to a major airline job.
Keep that in mind when you're out on the line. Be humble, be appreciative. Be eager to learn.
A Captain who needed 3 or 4 type ratings and 5000PIC Part 121, or spent years deployed or as a StanEval pilot just to get called for an interview 20 years ago may not have a lot of sympathy about your rough 9 months flying Cessnas at ATP.
Be cognizant of how fortunate you are to be there with that level of experience. Because it usually isn't like that. (And likely won't be like that for a lot longer)
Sounds like the older generation pilots are a little bitter?
@@gvue4396 Not at all. They just don't appreciate a kid who was flying 172's last year acting like he has 100 night traps and 4 type ratings.
@achmedbincouscous2846 that's kind of what I mean, they're not a kid. They made it that far so they have the potential. I wouldn't wish a harder practice on the next generation. Technology is better so it make sense that progess is faster.
@@gvue4396 But they haven't made it that far. At. All. There have been dozens of magic Airbus crashes where inexperienced pilots have flown perfectly good airplanes into the ground, despite the technology. To say nothing of accidents that shouldn't have happened in less automated A/C with simple abnormals that were badly mishandled by inexperienced crews. The TransAsia ATR popping an engine at V1 and the crew wrong ruddering it into a bridge comes to mind. The Ethiopians hitting the dirt with their N1's at over 90%. It goes on and on. How do you think a 1500 hour Cessna pilot would have done if faced with a situation like SWA 1380 for example? MSFS and Magic airplanes don't help in situations like that. Google "Automation complacency" it's a huge problem in the industry, and one that is being exacerbated by the proliferation of low time pilots. Add in a sense of entitlement from a kid with 1500 hours of Cessna time and it's going to end badly. It already has in lot of other countries.
@@achmedbincouscous2846 I think your comment proves my point
It's good to see you, Goose.
great content as usual!!!! keep up the great work, the video was very interesting, and the presentation was fantastic as always.
Thanks for the support! Always appreciate the constructive advice. Improvements on the audio quality is coming soon.
@@Tristan_Hayes sounded ok to me , but great videos !!!! short and to the point.
I got my PPL in August but I am making sure that I am totally secure in my cybersecurity career before moving forward. I honestly don’t recommend anyone to become a pilot unless they have experience/credentials in another trade/career field. You could have all the seniority in the world, but something like Covid could absolutely wreck you if you didn’t want to take the vaccine.
Can you explain plz?
Your absolutely correct, pilots have gotten wrecked 3 times in 20 years. 9/11, 2008, and Covid.
I was anxious of whether or not I would go to a flight school, since I heard about this news back in 2022. Now I’m determined to go to a flight school and even if I started from zero experience and there’s a chance I would not attain my certification in time, at least I’ve tried my best and I still have my degree to fall back on. also if it all works out in the end, I wouldnt be regretful for the rest of my life of not having to take on this opportunity. Best of luck to everyone who’s in the same situation as myself!
Good mindset. There’s no benefit in being upset about factors we can’t control. All we can do is make calculated and educated decisions while evaluating the cost/risk/benefits .
Wow, just happened on here by chance, Tristan is HANDSOME!
ATP has always been 1500 hrs. What the FAA changed was the requirement to have an ATP to sit in the right seat. Prior to that the FAA only required a comm/inst Multi license to sit in the right seat and gain experience toward that 1500 hours.
Yup. You’re right.
@timothypropst238 it wasn’t the FAA that mandated the 1500 hour rule, it was Congress. The 1500 hour rule was written into the Federal law under the United States Code; Part 61 only reflects that. It’s bullsh!t, but you have Chuck Schumer and Kristin Gillibrand (sp?) to thank for that, not the FAA.
Hey Tristan.. Great content as always. My understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) is that the shortage now reflects captains, and not first officers. I’m am also told the regionals have slowed down their hiring of first officers substantially. Do you think this is correct? I try to follow this stuff closely as my son is working on his IFR rating at ERAU and hopes to eventually fly for the airlines or do cargo. Also, what are you thoughts on the cadet programs and is there one you think is best? Thanks!!
Thanks for dropping in. There is a PIC (captain) shortage primarily at the regional airlines and the ULCC's. The reason being is because Part 121 PIC's are highly qualified and are being sucked up by the big dawgs (AA, DAL, UAL, WN). Regionals had to slow their hiring because it doesn't make sense to have 1,000 FO's if there is only 500 captains. Cadet programs are good because it gives you a seniority number without wrapping you up in any contractual obligation (usually).
@@Tristan_Hayes My son-in-law just finished his 1500 hour requirement this week. He's been flying Part 135 for the last 4 months in King Air's and just got upgraded to left seat about three weeks ago. He joined Sky West's Cadet program while he was still working on his CFII two years ago, and all he needs for a Part 121 gig is his ATP. He's telling me that until the present FO's are qualified to become Captain there will be that bottleneck of too many FO's and not enough Capt's. Seems that there are more Capt's retiring than FO's qualifying for the left seat. He has applications in to several carriers, both cargo and passengers. He stands a better chance right now of getting type rated in heavies if he goes to cargo, but his base of operation options are worse than if he starts out in regional jets. Piedmont and Sky West will pay for his ATP but the cargo lines he has to pay for it himself.. Any recommendations or advice? Who are you flying for, Southwest? (I assume you might not be able to say, but the model might be the giveaway.)
Great video! My dream is to fly for Aer Lingus or Qantas as I have a dual citizenship, I feel the big airlines need to promote more funded training as the cost of a CPL is insane for those fresh out of high school or secondary school, I'm currently training towards my PPL and I’m loving every bit but the crazy costs are slowing myself and others in my position which will also hurt airlines hiring
Enjoy PPL because ATPL theory will hit you in the head like a shovel and way harder than you can imagine
The airlines will do what they need to do to get the pilots they need. If it comes to that, they’ll fund training.
If you’re an Australian citizen you’re eligible for HECS or VET Student Loans. You can do an integrated CPL (with an approved college) and not pay any tuition or flight training fees until you graduate and earn at least $49k per year.
Thanks for posting, I'm interested in becoming a pilot and wondering if college would be a good fit? Are furloughs always about seniority, or would me having a degree help in that manner? If not, is there any point to getting a degree at all? Thanks!
I would love a topic on what you would recommend for someone who's completely green, to get their foot through the door and get their airline path started. I'm in love with planes and would really like to do a career change. Thank you so much!
Great short form, direct and to the point content.
If you’re at Southwest, I heard they have an issue with FO’s leaving partially due to the Captain upgrade is very far away for a new hire? Can you confirm?
Id recommend to new people to check the air national guard… after going through charter, airlines, now flying the 737. You can save money, get amazing benefits, and get hired at a major right at 1500hrs and have ALL turbine time. Can also pick up military orders in the future to get desired time off from the airlines. It’s also a back up plan for when things go south. Wish someone would have told me about the air national guard years ago.
There are pilots leaving Southwest Airlines for other carriers, just as is happening with other carriers. The reasons for this are many. I’m sure the length of time to upgrade is motive for some.
It's true. I'm about to upgrade at a legacy in well under 3 years, whereas guys I know at SWA are 7+ years in and still nowhere near upgrade.
Do you need a degree for that? I know you do to be an officer and be a pilot in active service
@@Tristan_Hayes ya no kiddin. I watch big erns channel and it took him 8 years to make it to capitan status. On the other hand, your still getting pay raises, meaning, if I am not mistaken senior FOs at SW are making some "serious penny" ....
You do not need a degree to fly for an airline anymore@@evanphillips4015
Great info!
Glad you think so!
👍👍👏👏 thank you All the love from Algeria
Currently finished my Instrument Rating and about to start my Commercial. It’s been pretty rough with my availability because I have a full time job and fly/study on my weekends. Any advice on how maybe I can get through it quicker and how to get the necessary hours to apply at the airlines? I still don’t know if I’m going the instructor route. Haven’t decided yet.
Just explore different options that allow you to fly the most. Flight time is king, but quality of time is also good. Try getting multi engine piston, turbo prop, ME turbine. Just keep hammering, you’ll be there before you know it… & enjoy it along the way.
I'm a CPL with about 330 hours hoping to get my instructor tickets early next year. I fear I'm going to miss the bus, though, I hear rumblings that hiring is slowing fast.
The best thing you can do is fly as much as possible and ensure that every job you apply for and take is something you could do until the next hiring wave, if the music were to stop.
You'll get in. It may not be with a sign on bonus, and you might have to wait 6 months for a class after being hired, but you're in good standing. The number of people between 330 hours and 1500 hours who are "ahead of you" is smaller than the people the Legacy's are stealing from the regionals through the next 3 years.
Get into those cadet groups
You're not gonna miss the wave. The regionals are bleeding pilots faster than they can bring in more. This hiring wave will still be around for several years. You'll have your atp mins before the hiring stops. It may slow down but the massive hiring wave will not just abruptly stop anytime soon (unless another economic downturn occurs). Historically hiring used to be in waves. It was rare you'd see applications being open year round like they are right now. That will continue for a while.
You're fine. Just hurry the F-up and build that time.
Started flight training out of a small international airport back in 1992, but decided it wasnt for me. Pay was terrible to start, and was extremely tough to get on with a good company unless coming out of the air force. I shifted gears and went into civil engineering. No regrets
Congratulations
@@Tristan_Hayes ….thanks? I guess. Lol
What are your opinions on ATP flight school? I have heard mixed things but they seem very attractive to me
Highly recommend it because of how fast it is. If you’ve got the cash, it’s a great option.
Hello Tristian, thank you for your insight. Last year I finished my ATPL with about 220 hours while working on a full time job and since then I've been searching for pilot hirings without a Type Rating in Europe. Surprisingly, I only was able to apply to 3 airlines that fulfilled that criteria and nobody gave me any feedback. Still waiting 🤔 I didn't consider myself to become a flight intructor because I'm still employed working full time. Any advice on that situation? Thanks
I am a cadet at L3 Harris nearing completion of my PPL. I’m hoping to be reach CFI by the end of the year and continue grinding my hours. However, I noticed that most airlines prefer a Bachelor’s degree. I want to maximize my chances of getting hired, but I don’t know how long it would take me to get my 1500 hours and a Bachelor’s degree.
Focus on flight experience! It’s a different market now.
I am only 13 but starting to memorize the stuff for the basic pilots license test when I turn 16.
Hopefully I make it before a downfall
Watch my other video, “military pilot to airline pilot” and that might give you another idea for a path that will provide job security, allow you to fly the coolest aircraft, and have a dual career in the military and as a commercial pilot
Good afternoon Tristan. I am currently a captain in one of the regionals. I understand that there is a pilot shortage but at the same time, by what I can see in the regionals. The hiring has slowed to a point where the regionals have gone from two training classes a month to only one class, as well as all the classes are now full until the end of the year. Before pilots with 1500 hours could go direct to Frontier, Allegiant and maybe even Spirit but now that’s not happening. So my question is do you feel the airlines are being more conservative in case of a recession or is there something else going on that I’m missing?
We are already in a recession! Thousands of layoffs are taking place on the daily basis
I got my CFI back in December, and I still can't find an instructing job. I've been applying all over. The CFIs aren't going off to the airlines, so there's no room for new CFIs. It's crazy how fast the ups and downs are going with this industry.
@@slimyasparagus3573 that’s crazy!! I hope something comes up quick for you. I did my instructing in South Florida. There are plenty of CFI jobs there. If you find one in South Florida and are willing to move, you should get your hours quick.
Thank you Tristian, I do have a question though. I'm a 16 year old who's going for his PPL at the moment, if I keep on pushing toward the airline goal, it's still quite possible I could squeeze myself right into the airlines before the shortage ends or other variable factors in economics happen that could inhibit me from reaching my goal?
We will always need pilots. The hiring just won’t be as it is today. It will also be more competitive. My video coming out tomorrow talks about a path that can secure you financially while also giving you a leg up and making you more attractive to airlines.
@@Tristan_Hayes Hello, thanks for all the content. Does this pilot shortage affect the entire world, and what advice do you give pilots from parts like East Africa.
I know you can only give an educated guess but how much longer do you think this will last? Thanks for the info and looking forward to more videos!
Hard to say. Unless there is an economic downturn or another black swan event in the next 3-5 years, the hiring numbers will just become less each year.
What's your opinion on flight school loans? Are they worth it if it means progressing to the airlines faster, even with the high interest rates? Thanks!
If you want to be an airline pilot you need to do whatever it takes to get here fast. This hiring wave won’t last forever. I’d recommend that fastest route to get your butt in the seat at an airline.
Thank you for sharing.😊😊😊
Thanks for watching!
@@Tristan_Hayes You are welcome. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Best advice for pilots: Be American or marry an American to become a US pilot 😂
True. Haha!
I need to be a pilot so bad but I’m Jamaican. I’m a chef right now (H2B worker) in West Virginia but being a pilot is my dream job. Have any friends/suggestions?
If you will leave your current job, your H2B visa will be canceled, and you will definitely have to marry US citizen😊
Exactly. As I'm not blessed with the 1st option, I'm planning to take the 2nd option. I'll take me some 5 years to even get started on private pilot training though.
How can foreigner apply for US airlines? Can I become captain of my airline country then apply for US Airlines?
I’m at Auburn University in their flight program and I’ve heard of 2-3 people whose class dates for the airlines have either got cancelled or pushed back pretty far because they just aren’t hiring as much right now. Kind of makes me nervous😂😂
That is definitely happening at some ULCCs and regionals where they’re experiencing a captain shortage
My sons finished flight training at Aims in Colorado in August (550 hours). Aren’t even getting responses to resumes. $90k in training and can’t get jobs
I am 37 years old, and currently, I work in the healthcare field and make a decent wage to put in savings and invest. However, it was never my dream. I keep going back to make a change and start my pilot career.
My question is, is it a good decision to become an airline pilot with zero experience at my age? Even thought I make nice decent money with only working 40 hours a week?
I’m a senior and high school and am working on getting my private pilot license during the school year. I am not going to a university and plan on going all the way through commercial and maybe cfi through a local part 61 school. Do u think I will be able to get a job with the regionals within the next 2-3 years?
Yes
QUESTION: in hindsight, How would you get to 1500 hours as quickly as possible?--Would you spend an additional $100k renting a plane everyday to average closer to 5 flight hours everyday (as well as instructing, and any contract hours)
Honestly, you can’t put a price on seniority…. Right now, every month you are not at the airline that you want to work at, you are losing out on 100-200 seniority positions, depending on airline.
Just go do commercial work as a crop duster or a small cargo delivery. The pay isn’t as good as the airlines but you are getting paid and building your hours
Would you say you need to be in tip top shape and basically a perfect human being to be a pilot in order to get a medical? The medical process was too difficult for me and the myself and the FAA was doing this back and forth thing so I just said forget it.
Absolutely not! I am nowhere near perfect from the perspective of the FAA and I’m here flying for the military and a major airline.
Halfway through my commercial training 😮💨
Keep up the hard work!
This guy is wrong! The ATP was always 1,500 hours. The commercial license was and still is 250 hours. No one today works as an airline pilot without the ATP. There was a time when the copilot only needed a commercial license.
You are absolutely correct! I made a mistake.
@@Tristan_Hayesdon’t worry so much.
We all make errors.
Even this person I did a flight review with today is a FO for southwest, and he makes errors
I don't know about the US, but in Europe, not to mention Asia, this crisis is just beginning. Every airline is buying planes like crazy, pilots are in short supply, especially due to the events of the past years. From my point of view, this crisis will take a few more years to reach its peak. But I understand that talking about European and American aviation is not the same
The dynamics do vary quite differently between nations
Hey im a sophomore in high school and im planning to go to university probably in embry riddle and then to the regionals but it will take me around 7 years to actually start flying for a regional since thats when Ill be around 23. Do you think I will still be able to reap the benefits of the hiring wave by the time I can fly for the regionals?
If you want to do this, don’t go to a university, you don’t need a degree to fly for an airline anymore. Just get your hours and ratings as fast as possible. Start now!
@@Tristan_Hayes agreed. i am 50 yrs old and getting ready to start school full time. the ffa examiner and several people in the airlines said they are having people at 60 start school and getting hired. they need everybody they can get right now. if you are that young you will be hired way before someone like me who is 50.
what pathway did you use to get your licenses did you go to an institution or a private instructor the whole way? trying to find the best bang for my buck method and planning to atleast get my private license through a mom and pop place.
Check this video out that I made about my pathway - Military Pilot to Airline Pilot

I am currently a student pilot with about 7-8 months left before I’m completely licensed (cfI,CFII,ppl,commercial) with single engine and multi engine hours (prop) I want to work for the airlines, am I on the right track? I go to school American Flyers kpmp
Hi Tristian, Colorado Guard Blackhawk student pilot thats going to graduate Flight school in rucker in just a few months. Have my PPL, whats my best option for a cadet program for the airlines?
SkyWest Airlines had a cadet program that I joined when I was at Fort Rucker going through IERW. This gave me class seniority as well as company seniority. If I were you, I would say that SkyWest Airlines might be a good option for you. However, Frontier Airlines is also hiring R-ATP pilots right now and they also have a Denver base just like SkyWest does. I would try to get on at Frontier given you'll be payed more and fly bigger jets.
Southwest Destination225 has a pathway specifically for military rotor pilots.
what do you think about the wizzair cadet program, would it be a good choice?
I’ve not looked into it
What would you say about flying in the armed forces before going into the airlines, compared to training and going straight into an airline?
Depends on what you’re looking to get out of your aviation career to be honest. The military needs pilots just like the airlines need pilots as long as you’re not too old, the military will probably still still take you.
@@Tristan_Hayes Alright thanks for a quick reply, nice video.
A good choice imo. Airlines like people with more flight hours. If you can get a few thousand flight hours in the military before getting an ATPL and applying for Commercial Pilot jobs, you'll probably get hired pretty quickly, as you already have a lot of experience.
Great video man, i am currently 16 and i want to become a great pilot, so i will get a collagen degree to increase my chances of getting accepted at any airline, most people say it doesn't have to be aviation related degree so i was thinking of a business related, what you think ?
It doesn’t have to be aviation related. I would try and set yourself up to have another career if this one doesn’t pan out because of various industry dynamics
How aviation is so interesting …. In the U.S you need 1500 to fly for a regional whiles in Europe your 1500 is gives you eligibility to apply for upgrade …. I know people with 250 hours from flights school flying A320 and 737 …. It’s annoying in the U.S you need to be an instructor and build 1500 to just get to regionals …. By 2 years flying an A320 you can even upgrade to 787 777 …. The only part that hurts is to finish 13 EASA EXAMS to get your frozen ATPL but gues what atleast you get it fly airlines after that ‼️
The European mind could not comprehend
I got my wings before this young fellow was born.
And I heard about pilot shortage all my life…
Still plenty of pilots who cannot find a job…
And why do you think they can’t find a job?
@@Tristan_Hayes because the airlines do not need them.
otherwise, seniority, age, backgrounds, would not be taken into account.
A couple of hours in a sim with competent flight instructors will be enough to check if the pilot fits for the system.
But soon, the number of pilots will also be reduced, thanks to automation and so called artificial intelligence installed in cockpits.
Have a nice and safe flying carrier. Being and behave as a pedestrian is not fun in todays societies…
So starting from scratch now isn't too late?
This is the biggest flight school scam going, according to the FAA, there are plenty of qualified pilots to need the needs of airlines. Many will be stuck with massive debt and no job. I would not waste money on flight training as there is no pilot shortage.
Can you provide any proof
i’m currently a ppl who’s 17 and i am debating between an accelerated program and college program what do you recommend?
Accelerated program
I have twin sons with 550 hours, commercial, instrument, multi engine and more. Finished training in Aug and can’t even get responses to resumes submitted. $90k in training and can’t find their first jobs. Pilot shortage???
If your goal is to get into an airline asap you didn’t join aviation for the right reasons do this because you love it and do it right 1500 hrs don’t mean anything if you can’t even explain Bernoulli’s principle 😮
Looking at starting my aviation journey right now, do you think its worth it? I'm 26 with a nursing degree
Go for it. I’m 31 and I started a couple months ago. I’m about to go solo right as a student pilot. I wish I started at your age because I would had been at the airlines by now
Yes, you could be at a major airline in three years if you grind. It would be worth it.
can you get into flight training with a history of antidepressants? what if you've been off for years?
You should consult with an aviation medical examiner about that if you are in the United States
Get all of the hours while you can.
Im a 17 y.o. saving for Flight Training for my PPL with a goal of the airlines, is there any idea as to how long this Hireing wave will last?
It will continue for a while, but will slow down each year to come
I desperately want to be a pilot but im still in high school as a sophomore, what can I do ?
Start flight lessons
ATP has always been 1500 hours. Where did you get 250 hours? And who cuts your hair?
You’re right. I meant to say “you used to be able to be hired on at an airline with 250 hours an a commercial pilots license”
And what's frustrating to me is I lost my career because of almost dying from covid-19. Had to retire 10 years early. And no major financial compensation for what happened to so many flight crew who either got covid or were injured by the thing that went in the arm
Injured by the thing that went in the arm??
I see your brain got damaged as well
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m know someone who was perfectly healthy, early 30s, got the Johnson & Johnson and had a stroke within a week. Coincidence? I don’t know.
He’s currently fighting to get his medical back
@@Tristan_Hayes dont know about vaccines much but i do know the faa is a pain in the ass when dealing with such matters
Im 17 and a junior do you think in 3-4 years the hiring boom will be done?
It’s really hard to say. Check out my latest video on my career path and that might give you some ideas of got to become a pilot without the music coming to stop ruining your life.
I understand the pilot career is cyclical. Im 26 and was thinking of joining the military to use the GI bill afterwards to pay for pilot school. Do you think 5-8 years from now that they will stop hiring pilots at this rate.
I don’t think it’s a good move for you... Especially if you’re thinking about joining the military just so you have the G.I. bill for flight school.
the devastating health effects as a result of the Covid vaccin mandates have created enormous havoc in the aviation industry. Numerous pilots lost their medical licenses and the amount of crew on sick leave have doubled since creating more shortages. But this elefant in the room is being ignored by most of course.
You have any figures on the number of pilots out of a medical due to complications of the Covid vaccine?
@@Tristan_Hayes there is loads of information on this topic if you search for it. this is just one example regarding military pilots,:
Pentagon data shows heart failure spiked nearly 1,000% among pilots in 2022: whistleblower Lieutenant Ted Macie says he found major spikes in several heart-related ailments over the previous five-year average among pilots, including heart failure (973%) and cardiomyopathy (152%).
I’ve thought about becoming a pilot but those small airplanes scare me!
Definitely more dangerous than part 121 planes
I'm 64 years old with no pilot training, do you think I could still make it?
Airlines… Probably not. Part 91 flying… Potentially.

Interesting take. I think if you aren’t already flying you are screwed. Now as for you, I’d rack up your hours and take the first job you can get outside of the regionals. It will make you more appealing to the legacy carriers. (The Delta train has already left the station FYI)
I don’t fly for a regional airline… But, thanks for the unsolicited advice!
@@Tristan_Hayes just figured because your photo is in an FO uniform inside an E-Jet. My bad I guess
Delta is still hiring 200 pilots a month for the LONG foreseeable future.
@@Pilot_Ty they literally announced they are only hiring 1000 next year…
@@Winglets68must be old news because now it’s 200 a month and over a 1000 by next summer. Summer is in 5 months, So 200 a month. I’d post a link to it but RUclips doesn’t allow posting links in the comment section.
I’m stuck at 300hrs. Might go to Europe or just find a new career
be an instructor or survey/pipeline pilot to get to 500 then head to ameriflight as a 1st officer. that is what my plan is. go to school full time next year. get my ratings. then instruct/survey/pipeline for the next 250 hrs then head to to ameriflight after that and fly cargo. this way if you decide you want to go to the airlines you have over 1000 of twin turbo time and not all single engine pistons. you do not even have to go to europe. from what i have read and been told (so do not hold me to that) only the US requires 1500 hrs nobody else in the world does. so if you want to go to canada or mexico or panama, etc. that is an option too.

The banks: yeah nah you are on your own fuck you have a lovely day xoxo..
(Sorry. I wanted to vent..)
Well you have the option to stick your head in the dirt and work for about 4K, WHILE networking and proposing to other pilots that you guys SPLIT TIME (both rent the aircraft at half the cost while one goes under the hood/simulated instrument and the other is the “secondary” pic of looking outside, then find some place that will get your commercial as cheap as you can get it, and try to scrape out that last CFI cert before applying to as many places as possible. There’s always a way man, it might take getting out of your comfort zone but it will be much more worth it
❤ you are so handsome and studly ❤🎉
Idk why you showed up on my recommended but you uncannily look like a hot, idealized, well-groomed version of my ex so im guessing Google has finally found a way into my head. Great video though.
actually nvm it's because I watched air crash investigations until 3am again oop
Does a 14 yo still have a chance?
I’d consider it, but I would also strongly consider a Plan B!
If I can fly two times per week in the flight school. How long can I achieve 1500h from zero?
Take 1500 hours / how many hours you can fly per week = how many weeks to get to 1500 hours
Hopefully this shortage in the US will mean that the pilots in my country will go there creating a shortage here that lasts for at least the next 10 years so I can have time to get my license
We’ve got plenty of people here willing to fill those slots, especially veterans.
There is no pilot shortage, there are too many restrictions and regulations. I gave it up and I’m so glad I did, there is nothing better in life than being around loved ones and not being stressed out. Family is more important than a job.
As an airline pilot... I have more quality time with my family/friends than anybody else I know that works a 9 to 5, M-F job… results may vary
It's almost like the government blows at managing things like this or something...lol
it s too expensive to get a pilot license. ofc there is a shortage... 100k for a lot of people is not doable
Only some routes cost that much… I joined the military and paid a fraction of that to finish my ratings and experience requirements.
Provided with all that glimmer many days away from all family
….
No THANKS
You actually, on average, will spend more time with your family as an airline pilot. I work 12 days a month on average at my job. I’m home the other 28. My quality of time at home is much better than someone who works 9 to 5 Monday through Friday.
@@Tristan_Hayes still no thanks !!! But I am super glad it works for you
Shut the airline down and turn them into bus line, there easier and cheaper to train bus drivers than airlines pilots. Nobody wants to pay 100K for training.
Anyone else ready for a 41 hour bus ride from LA to NYC?
@@Tristan_Hayes train yes. bus i would rather walk. LOL
انا اسف في الوقت يموت بلا نستيحة واضحة في الدولتي اين لشرف جوبايدن والملك ترام لشرف لتبعني اين الامراء والامرات الاميركي في مال ارسلني
They said shortage of pilot but they don’t take pilot from abroad or middle east
And we shouldn’t!
@@Tristan_Hayes why ?
There s no pilot shortage maybe something in the us
The pilot shortage is alive and well in the United States… Though, we have a Captain shortage at our regional carriers now.
@@Tristan_Hayes yeah I said “in the us” not globally
Oh. Didn’t realize you were referring to the United States... We usually use capital letters, even when abbreviated, for countries in the English language.
@@Tristan_Hayes in my language is the same but I'm still able to understand when it's a country even if it's not in capital letters. but I understand that for some people could be too complicated ))))).
Personally I think there is a pilot shortage because they won't hire anyone unless they have 20000 hours and military experience or some goofy shit lol
And small t-shirts.. too small bro 😅
They actually fit perfectly!
There is no shortage of pilots
Based on what?
Step one: be rich - there's no way in hell you're getting a license otherwise.
Step one: have an infinite mindset... Do your training through the military if you can’t find another way to fund your training. It’s free then.
Step one: Don't be a douche.
This career is ending soon.
Define “soon”
AI will be flying airplanes in no time. At the very least, only 1 pilot will be required to fly big airplanes.
Probably not anytime soon
God So Handsome❤
