@@dextersimon4629 Thanks for the update, looks like they lowered the hours from when I first contacted a recruiter.
This was extremely helpful, thanks a lot for taking the time to put this together for all of us! Appreciate it
Great video! Thanks for putting this together, it’s kinda hard to find info like this.
Nice work putting this together! I learned some info today!
This is a great video! I hate it when others put people down for asking this, especially when there is tons of jobs available out there.
Thanks for this! This is the best and most specific low time video I've seen. Super helpful
Thanks for the info you have gone above and beyond excellent. Again thank you very much.
Great info! Thanks for the awesome input. I will be checking into these options. Currently I am training with McAir Aviation close to my home in Westminster Colorado. They have contract deals with SkyWest and a few others, but you do need to first get the CFII ratings before you can be ushered into the programs as an FO .. Thanks again!
Thanks for the information Ryan!
I really liked this video. It's very different than all the others saying the same things over and over. Yours was specific. I would like to see you do an updated one since covid. Please and thank you.
Great video thank you Ryan. I sincerely appreciate it!
Awesome!!! Thanks a lot! You inspire me.
Thank you for shading some light about this topic. I was really afraid that after I finish I’ll have a hard time trying to find a job.
Unless you are well connected you will have a hard time.
Did you find a job?
Super helpful video man subbing now!
Great stuff Ryan! Most of those I had heard of but some I had not. Definitely plenty of opportunities out there, particularly if one is able/willing to move! *personally, I'm going CFI!
I am a contractor for Air America and recommend it 100%. Been here 4 months and it has been the time of my life. Ups and downs for sure, but if you can handle the lifestyle and you have a good work ethic, it is a dream job.
Aaron Simpson is this located in fl? Im in tampa and need a job stat
Great work with the list!
Thanks! Great video!
Such a great video. Thank you.
This is great!!
Thanks for this info I will start sending my application to all this airlines you mentioned
This video was very helpful and I liked that you pointed out specific companies and websites. It would be awesome if you could make an updated version of it since a lot has changed in the last 5 years. Anyway, thank you.
Yeah UPDATE time!
This has been a very very very helpful video thanks
Thanks man. This helps quite a bit
That was super useful vid. Thank u sir.
Thanks for the really good helpful info.
I'm glad I just stumbled onto this video. I plan to continue/finish training (keeping it level for my CFI dad at 7, some time in gliders at 14, 10K+ hrs in sims LOL). I am very interested in what kind of aviation job I may get into if I pursue my pilot lic.
*great video! Come here after getting my PPL to encourage myself to get through IFR* 😂😂 and I’d love to teach, be a Bush pilot, or fly tours! Also Boutiqe Air is cool but I’ve heard some odd things about them, so really it just depends who’s hiring once I finish my CPL.
how’s it going?! did you ever end up finding a job as a pilot with lower hours?
Very informative video thanks alot
Excellent info. Thanks
Good insight. Thanks.
Subscribed! Where do you fly out of? I’m new to the channel so sorry if you answered this before. I just got a job as a CFI but this is awesome info!
Kudos to you for this!
Great info and presentation, thanks! I'm surprised something like this wasn't done at ATP (professional pilot program 2014). I'm instructing independently slogging along almost to 700 hours now :)
Cascade Alley Aviation Services so if you finished the program end of year 2014 and started working in 2015, you've accrued 450 hours over two years? That's not very good compared to ATP grads who stay with the company to instruct or find any other flying job to build time.
I went the ATP route but instruct for another school since June 2017. I’m at 590. A friend stayed with ATP since May of 2017, he’s at 1100. If the airlines are your target don’t forget about the importance of seniority.
wow your friend really gotta going on. 1100 in say 8 months, I didnt think that was possible. good luck
This was excellent information! Thank you for making this video!
thank you so much for this video I dont know how I havent seen it before
Great video, thanks.
I noticed you didn't mention Airchoice one lol , I hear they might have a high non prorated training contract anyways. Just applied at Boutique a few days ago. Great video though! I'm looking into a few I hadn't heard of you mentioned!
Thanks man this was helpful
Great, thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Ryan, I wanted to thank you for the info, pipe line inspection sounds like something I want to do. I will also have my A&P within the next 3 MONTHS
Thanks for the info man.
Thanks so much good information
Air America only flys 172’s and Aztecs. They also survey throughout the entire country, Canada, and occasionally in the Carribbean. You MUST have CASEL and CAMEL. You must also must have RCC license, Passport, and qualify to work outside of the country.
I flew for STAR Marianas back in 2008 when they were called TAGA.. overall I had a great time flying there.. however at that time, the pay was very low, Tinian is a tiny island with not much to do, most of your customers don't speak English, and it is a 24/7 operation, meaning you're flying at night between islands 6 miles apart with no safe areas to land in the event of an engine failure (unless you see the abandoned runways on Tinian, same ones B-29's took off from in WW2). The legs were 15 minutes long, so it was common to have days with 4 hours of flying and 16 landings. The mechanics were great and had a good relationship with the crew, however the manager running the show didn't care about weight and often would try to fill up every seat, even if it put you over MTOW. It was great seeing the historical sites and the occasional trip to Guam but I wouldn't do it again unless you really enjoyed relaxing on an island with no entertainment.
As an update, almost none of these are 500 anymore. The lowest I saw was 750
You hear all these places talk about pilot shortages too lol.
Thanks for the video. Anything in the Midwest?
Hey bro! cool videos! any suggestions about these kind of small airlines in Canada!
Man honestly its tough out there but you gotta network. Its not what you know its who you know.
I’ll go for my hometown airline, Commuteair or Cape Air
Obviously given this video is almost 5 years old at the time I right this (28/11/2022), and is pre-Covid, much has changed regarding the information presented. And given I’m an Australian CPL student, most of it is, or was irrelevant to me anyway. I do appreciate though the effort you’ve put in to creating it…certainly would have been a great resource to relevant pilots at the time. Thank you.
Boutique air has 500 hours as preferred time, but the minimum is a commercial license w/instrument rating for FOs. But I would caution those as the position only pays like ~$22,000 a year and it looks like you'll be based in California and living there is expensive. But there is also a very little known option that most people don't know about. And that is to become a CFI sport, and the absolute beauty about this rating is that you need a minimum of a sport pilot/private pilot/recreational license and 150 hours to get it. So in theory you could build CFI time before you even get your instrument rating/commercial license, however it would probably be a "hobby" per say but there may be a small flight school out there who would hire you
yes in Florida very big at all flight schools $45 per hour
TheCraftingMaster I think you might be right. I wanted to take flight lesson at the Sling Flight Club out of Torrance. The specialize in Sport, but also do Private in the Sling LSAs. Anyway, I went up on a discovery flight only to be told that they are booked solid and have no room for new students.
TheCraftingMaster it's good for time building. Not something you'd want long term
TheCraftingMaster I think they bumped the pay up to about 60k is that correct? Would you recommend it for a starting job out of college?
Dynamic Aviation out of Bridgewater VA was looking for pilots as well as A&P guys. They fly King airs that I know of and they are restoring President Eisenhower’s Connie (just a side note)
Love you man
I’ve heard that Grand Canyon Air can hire very low(like around 250-350 hours). That’s just a rumor though.
I thought you meant Types of job. Like Air surveys, Bush Piloting and airforce maybe idk
Great video
I have 300 hours TT in GTA. What are my options?
😕
GainesMediaInc does gta actually log flight time lol?
Columbia transport pilot
Get wasted
@@Paolo-qe7lc first you need to learn how to spell Colombia
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a great option. They pay you nothing but they will take in zero time pilots.
Thank you.
Hello great video, Whats the basic requirements to start getting paid to work as a pilot? Do i get my PPL then commercial and what certifications like do i need multi engine, instrument rating, etc?
Also think about Freight runners Express in Milwaukee, WI
Yes, this is another great option.
+Ryan Huber may I ask you where in Arizona you got your training?
Good Lord thank you so much for this video
Awesome video and information! I’m currently trying to get into the aviation world. What would be the best route go down, a flight training program such as ATP and stuff or do to 2 years at college to get into the industry? I want to utilize my GI BILL for whichever route I go down. Would love any and all suggestions.
I'm ETSing in May and will be using my GI bill most likely at CTC in Killeen close to fort hood. It's better to find a school and get your Bachelor's and also get BAH while doing it.
I recomwnt you find a part 61 local flight school instead of a part 141 school. It wil be cheaper in the long run and you will have the same amount of hours (250) when you finish. I myself I'm about to get my private pilot license at a local delight school in Chicago and its working perfect for me.
I took a flight with grand canyon over the summer and had a chat with the dc6 captain after he said just about all the pilots there come out of riddle so they may have some sort of pipeline deal worked out with them not 100% sure
Tradewind Aviation is another option for people with around 500 hours looking to fly PC-12's. We fly all around the northeast and Caribbean (including st barths!!!) with scheduled AND on-demand charter operations.`Plus we have an approved Op Spec that allows FO's to log SIC time.... which you can't get away with at boutique.
U guys strict on 500 or do u take 250hr pilots?
How much do they approximately offer for starting pay? (Yes I know I can look it up.) I'm just curious. I just started school and I plan to do it all.
Great Video! But do you know any jobs for ICAO License holders?
This was great
Thank you 😉
Not sure if they still do it but, Ameriflight has a transition program with OMNI Air International ( B767/777's) to where if you sign a contract for 2 years, i believe, you can transition into a FO seat at OMNI. Something like that anyway. Theres more info on their website last i checked.
Literally typed this right before you mentioned it. LOL!
Do you need to be an US Citizen or even international students can apply?
great video, any suggestions for commercial helicopter pilots low hours,who aren't looking to go CFI route?
goapebilly you check into sightseeing tours in florida?
Thank you...
What about sun air express? They any good coming right after obtaining a commercial pilot license?
November 2023 update. Almost all of these jobs now require close to 800 hours to be competitive. SAE/surf air,boutique, PlaneSense, ameriflight, Tradewind….
This is Coming from a CFII with 800 hours that is now finally getting responses from these companies that I have been applying to since I hit 500 hours.
You can get in sooner if you have close connections with the company or know someone there.
Good luck everyone! Keep the blue side up
CFI is not necessarily the best way, I am in the BE1900 at 250 hours at Alaska Central Express.
Nice sir.....very nice
Questions about that route if you don’t mind now that you have time doing it. What do think of flying for them and has it been worth it or would you have did your time build a different way?
@Brendyn did you have an inside contact or did you just submit an application online
Thanks bro
I’ve got my PP and instrument rating. And currently at 150 hours. Once at 250 do the first 5 jobs apply to me?? I was going to do civil air patrol but they don’t pay
Great video !! Thank you.
How can Mesa hire FO’s with just 250 hours ? What about the FAA ATP 1500 hour rule ? 🤔
thats a good question, I really would like to know as well
Probably cargo rather than passengers for the low time pilots.
Back Road Customs part 135 FO’s don’t have the 1500 min requirement etc that’s to be a captain. You can however be a FO with passengers in part 135 with 250 hours. Hope that helps. Hope to see you all in the airlines!
What about jobs such as towing an airplane, flag, or skydiving pilot?
TY
A lot has changed since this was posted. As of 2021, your best bet as a fresh commercial pilot is to become a CFI....
Even in 2017 when this video was made... wouldn't most of these "airlines" require an ATP?
Thanks for sharing this info. May I ask if a Non US Citizen can apply for this jobs?
What I wanna know is, how the hell do regular non rich people afford to get their commercial rating? When I started my ppl course I didn't realize you had to spend an additional 30-40 grand for the commercial before you could get paid in any capacity. I don't see banner towers and crop dusters and bush jumpers having 30 grand to just throw around. What am I missing?
I guess I'll try apply for Ravn cause I'm in AK
HI everyone, what about jobs for a non US citizen?
I clicked on every link and they all said there are no low time pilot openings available. The first link was error 404. I did some digging and found they no longer exist
yea same
Hi as a beginner who just starting do you know of any potential jobs for pilots that are deaf and can't use the radio in ATC frequencies
Most likely not. At least in America, you need a second class medical minimum to exercise commercial pilot privileges. I'm not sure that there would be any way to get a second class medical if you are deaf, I know that a lot of people appeal it through AOPA and the like or get restricted medicals and such, but I think being deaf likely disqualifies you.
Mokulele merged to southern ...so theres only 9 options now...lol.... it's a good place to work. But as an F.O. with low hours you're competing with about 700 applicants for maybe 3 spots...so make your resume bomb.com
I wonder how many hours for Papau New Guinea 😨
Tony Merlot Min 250 for Susi Air
How long to get a CFI rating?
Has anything changed since 2017?
Please do an updated video
Avoid “Scare” America. Picto vendors are a great way to build time, is just steer clear of them and go to sky lens, land care, or any of the others.
I have 1250 tt , 1,100 and 700 duel and can’t get a charter company to look at me .. even though I see in emails for rejections, even though your resume is impressive we decided to look
At other candidates
Hell yeah.
