I start flight school next spring, I've been working out for 2 years now and have just started running. Good luck to anyone on their flight or fitness journey!
In the middle of my CFI rating in Canada right now, excited to start making money as a pilot. For all the student pilots out there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
@@Wizzzkhalifa Flight Instructor, CFI the states use as certified flight instructor so anyone with the instructor rating. But in Canada CFI is Chief Flight instructor aka “the boss”.
This is very nice! This is very rare to see a pilot explaining in detail how they became a pilot. I hope to become a pilot in the future :D Always fly safe! 🙏
Hey Joey. I served in the Army for 10 years now. I'm exiting in a few months. I've been watching all your videos since last year. I really appreciate all your work to clarify everything in the aviation industry. I start my training at a 141 school soon. Your videos have really helped me create a plan during this stressful transition. Thanks for all the tips and positivity.
@@rockingjuniorhow much is it going to cost you if you don’t mind me asking I’m about to get out of the army and want to use my benefits to go to flight school
@@Hikingnhell about $15k out of pocket for PPL. The rest will be covered by GI Bill. VR&E (I'm claiming 20% disability) will cover the rest of the hours that get capped off in the calendar year.
I’ll probably leave this to the flight instructors. Time has passed since I was one and current flight instructors should be given you all this information better than I would
Me: I have absolutely no intention of ever becoming an airline pilot. Also me: Let's watch a video about how to become an airline pilot... Lol, in all seriousness-it was actually pretty interesting, and all these videos make me appreciate airline pilots even more! G1M Joey!
That's the dream! The main concern is balancing Flight School and College. I have my PPL, working on IFR, but college is ramping up and it's a challenge to stay on top of things in both worlds. I've also been lifting consistently for 6 years and I'm not willing to sacrifice time in the gym.
I resume my training toward my IFR in October at Melbourne in their CAP program. Thank you for everything you put out here for us! A true inspiration for myself in fitness and flying 💪🏻 I wouldn’t have found MFT if it wasn’t for you.
i started flying sense i was 9 years old and i have 13 hours logged in the flight book i hope to be an airline pilot for Qatar you are my most favorite airline pilot right now and thank you for sharing this this will help me what to expect when i get become an airline pilot.
Joey you have inspired me so much these pass few months I’ve been watching your channel. I’ve been beginning to run in the morning and workout even more!! I’m wanting to become a pilot as well and how I found your channel was trying to find pilot videos 😅 but thank you so much!!!
Just started the CAP program at Melbourne Flight Training last week! Super stoked, you’ve been a great role model and thank you for taking the time to make these videos! I had explored LOTS of flight schools, including Skyborne, but MFT was by far the most professional and really has their stuff together! Moved down here from Syracuse, NY, and your videos have given me added peace of mind about my decision to go with MFT. Congrats on your accomplishments in your aviation (and FITNESS) journey! Great stuff.
Loved this insight, Joey. As someone who is currently going through my private pilot license here in Utah, and planning on going all the way through to the airlines, it's awesome to hear about how you did everything to get to there. Love your content! 👏🏾
Great video and well timed as im starting my journey next year. Im 2 years older than you and was worried im too old to start now but i just dont care. Hate current job and feel motivated. Appteciate this kind of video dude thanks.
Unless you’re going to be at minimums from private to commercial, part 141 isn’t worth it IMO. Extra cost for stage checks, and waiting for them is a progress killer. Plus I read the horror stories of some 141 programs holding people back over very silly things. Nickel and dime them for as much money as possible. I did 61 PPL, 141 IRA, 61 commercial. Time building for 61 is great experience to a CRM environment and you can explore. Plus you split cost, Cheapest hours you’re going to get. 55 hours of dual plus plane rental in 141 commercial killed the deal for me. Saved me about $9k going back and building hours for 61. I quit my career, moved my family to a different state and went all in on training. Still grinding everyday to keep moving forward! Best of luck to everyone out there!
This is great for people who are able to manage their own training. I have seen the bad side of 61 where students managing themselves fail to understand the requirements and end up repeating flights.
Thank you very much for this. I’m about to finish my training in a 141 flight school and wasn’t sure of what to do after to get the 1500 hrs but this is inspiring
I really appreciate you going through this. It helps to see the whole breakdown of how to get to the big leagues. I am working on getting my PPL right now. Just curious if you have any words of advice or motivation because it seems like a lot of hard work and can be discouraging at some points!
Impressive story but what really impressed me is you being able to deal with Melbourne Tower’s shenanigans for as long as you did 😂. Great video input for those trying to get in the industry.
Please continue to give advice for people who can afford to become Pilots! Even though I could not afford to become Pilot, flying with my former airline United gave me a career close enough to feel comfortable in seeing the world. 😂 Hahaha! Rollerboard Flight Luggage and all!! ☺
@@alejandropayne2518 some schools hire back pilots they trained to work as instructors but you don’t necessarily have to do that in order to get hired as an instructor
Richard, may I ask what flight school you went to? I was told I could finish in 12 months, but seeing as how it’s taking me 5 months just to get my PPL, I don’t think that’s happening.
Great video, I’m moving to Gainesville this week. Hopefully there’s schools around and plan on starting soon. Plus I started a fitness journey and stopped going to pick back up and start fresh next week. 🤙🏼
Hi Joey, taking my private in a few weeks and so relieved and excited. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Super big into my fitness as well and can’t wait to see where my flying will take me. Great channel sir and thank you for the continued inspiration!
Great video, I appreciate hearing about your flying experiences!! I'm a student pilot working on my PPL, and I'm about to start up flight training in Tampa. I also love running/fitness, and I wish you the best in your sub 3 marathon training!!
i start flight school on august 16th i love the channel!!! i love the content and you inspired me to start filming. once i start im gonna do some ditl of like a student pilot and document the whole process!!!
Thanks for this I’ve really been stressing trying to figure out how to start and prepare for training but this might be the video that changes it all. Thank you can’t wait for more content.
I just recently got my powerplant mechanics license, I’m working on the airframe, but I do eventually want to get into flying to get my private pilots license
Hey Joey, I am 14 years old and have been flying across the country with my parents for 13 and 1/2 years. I have been in love with aviation for as long as I can remember. I would love to fly the a320 one day. I actually live in West Melbourne and have heard amazing stories about Melbourne flight training so it’s comforting hearing another great experience. Like I said I’m only 14 but what would you recommend me doing to get started in my aviation journey
Hey, I’m 13 and I hope you can get to this comment to answer some of my questions. My first question is when and how early am i able to start. Another question I have is in order to become a pilot to start flying commercially do you have to go to colleges for anything after high school?
Dude great video. Love your content and I’ve been considering going to flight school. What’s your thoughts on the future outlook for pilots as so many older generations retire?
I think it's kinda wild how you can only apply to airlines in the US once you have the 1500h while in the EU just with the frozen ATPL and about 250-300h you can basically apply and "easily" get a job at any low cost airline lol
Heyy man one question plz, so im planning to work in the IT field while studying towards a commercial airline license and wanted to know if it's possible to do so or should i just save up and focus on flight school (wouldn't be obtimal tho for me)
Joey your a king bro, what is your opinion on the career and life of an Air Traffic Controller? I know it’s a very stressful but rewarding job, I also know it is a rigorous process to even become one. Just curious
I’ve taken two flights with my friend who is a CFI (3 if you include one in a Cessna 310 that I didn’t fly) and he is going to work for SkyWest in the next couple weeks. I love it! But flying is intimidating at first because you really don’t know what’s going on haha. Did you have any of that uncertainty? I don’t want it to scare me away and want to continue on!
Airline pilot myself also going for a sub 3. Keep us up to date with the training. Let us know which goal race you plan on and I’ll come race with you.
Joey did you ever find out what went wrong with John yr. Kenny and why his plane went down? was he flying a too big of a plane for his inexperience as a pilot ??? the plane did not seem to be that big???
Hey Joey, been watching your videos for a while and my dream career is to become a pilot. I was just curious when you were going through flight school were you working on the side or was it something that required your full time commitment?
Hey Joey love this content, during your time going to your first cfi did you work at all while getting private or just getting your ratings? To speed things up thanks in advance for answering
I did a discovery flight and started classes then about 5 years ago was flying from Denver to Atlanta back from a ski trip and the plane hit insane turbulence, everyone came out of their seats luckily no one was hurt. I’ve been scared to fly ever since
are you a pilot now? i’d like to understand and make a plan step by step on becoming a pilot, i am 17 just starting my senior year what can I do to excel my procces of becoming a pilot.
Is there really not a pilot shortage anymore? I wanted to start pilot school to earn my commercial pilots license to fly for airlines but I don’t want to do it if I won’t be able to use it afterwards
Hey Joey, been following you for a while, I'm studying to become a dentist but man your videos have made me re-think some choices haha. Curious, you mentioned in past videos you went to college for buisness, why the switch to aviation? Do flight schools require and degrees or courses prior to flight school?
Great video Joey. Just a question, did you work a job during your training? And if you did, would you recommend working while training or just drop everything and knock it out as quick as you can?
I always did social media marketing part time but it didn’t take up too much of my time so it worked out. I would suggest dropping everything and doing it full time
the school closest to me is a 141, a bit more expensive but the 190 hour commercial license seems like i could make money off of the other 60 hours other then renting to get to 250? Do yall think i should do that or just go with the cheaper part 61, any more advice about schools i will take aswell!
Do you have any tips on getting prepped for the oral portion of the checkride? I was looking at the ACS and it seems like a lot of stuff. How did you manage your time to study the knowledge portion?
Hey Joey, I’m a senior in highschool trying to get to the airlines ASAP through flight school, I know you know your stuff, I want a 141 school, Melbourne flight school, Epic flight academy over ATP? Or do you recommend ATP?
Hi, Joey I’ve been really enjoying your page! My question is how did you pay for flight school? I wish there was some federal student loan but unfortunately all I’m seeing is private loans and I’m worried about the interest payments. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
$10k for a private? If you flew 60 hours that’s $160 per lesson. How much did your CFI bill you and how were your plane rentals? Standard Bay Area plane rental is around $200/hr + $100/hr for a CFI
Working on my private license and taking my par exam this weekend! All while working a full time job. Is there any advice you can give on scholarships/loans to help afford training?
The school I recommend here does loans I believe. But yea if needed definitely take out the loan and you’ll pay it back fast once you’re in the airlines
Are you capable of setting up a test flight? I’m from a small town about to finish high school in california. I’ve really been stressed about how one would make money while starting out (before instructing)
I start flight school next spring, I've been working out for 2 years now and have just started running. Good luck to anyone on their flight or fitness journey!
Keep it up. Love this comment! Let’s all keep crushing it 💪🏼
That’s crazy I start next spring too I’m hype
You and me both friend, wish you the best.

That's the plan! Thanks 🙏🏽
Dude great video. Love your content and I’ve been considering going to flight school. What’s your thoughts on the future outlook for pilots as so many older generations retire?

I appreciate that! U got this 💪🏼
Did u immediately get picked up by frontier?
I flew for endeavor air first for about 8 months

I will once I fly again haha havnt been called in a bit
Chipping away at my ratings right now!
Keep crushing it!
Joey your a king bro, what is your opinion on the career and life of an Air Traffic Controller? I know it’s a very stressful but rewarding job, I also know it is a rigorous process to even become one. Just curious
Ayy thanks so much. Honestly not too knowledgeable on that process but seems like a great career
Thanks man!
I’ve taken two flights with my friend who is a CFI (3 if you include one in a Cessna 310 that I didn’t fly) and he is going to work for SkyWest in the next couple weeks.
I love it! But flying is intimidating at first because you really don’t know what’s going on haha. Did you have any of that uncertainty? I don’t want it to scare me away and want to continue on!
Yea I was definitely nervous a lot in the beginning but with time you’ll get more comfortable. You got this 🤙🏽✈️
How much money do the pilots get if they are in the big airlines such as delta,American,united etc.
All this pay information can be found at pilot Central.com

Hey Joey, been watching your videos for a while and my dream career is to become a pilot. I was just curious when you were going through flight school were you working on the side or was it something that required your full time commitment?
I’ve always done social media marketing on the side but yea flight school was full time and my main priority at that time
You seemed to do a lot of your ratings in the pandemic
I did 👍🏽
Hey Joey love this content, during your time going to your first cfi did you work at all while getting private or just getting your ratings? To speed things up thanks in advance for answering
I’d suggest flying and studying full time but I always worked a bit in the process
it takes around 5 years to get to 100k in the UK as a pilot :(
Yea fortunately all the airlines start at 100k here now
Starting in the spring, how many hours of studying did you need for CFI ? Know pilots never stop studying but getting the CFI part is hard
Yea CFi was a lot of studying but very worth it. You can do it. Not sure on # of hours

Did you do loans for flight training? If so I’d love a video breaking that down
I was lucky enough to have saved enough from working to pay for it. But the school I recommend here does do loans if needed
I wanna work for delta so should i get a degree in avation and go to flight school
Degree doesn’t matter that much in my opinion rn but definitely won’t hurt. But definitely start flying asap
Hey Joey, been following you for a while, I'm studying to become a dentist but man your videos have made me re-think some choices haha.

Hi thanks for sharing your experience. you got hired Frontier Airline right after building 1500 hours?
i was wondering if u had a 4 year degree and if u don't do u think that will affect how long it takes u to get into the majors
I do have a bachelors degree but I don’t think it carries much weight tbh. Not required anymore
Great video Joey. Just a question, did you work a job during your training? And if you did, would you recommend working while training or just drop everything and knock it out as quick as you can?
I always did social media marketing part time but it didn’t take up too much of my time so it worked out. I would suggest dropping everything and doing it full time
the school closest to me is a 141, a bit more expensive but the 190 hour commercial license seems like i could make money off of the other 60 hours other then renting to get to 250? Do yall think i should do that or just go with the cheaper part 61, any more advice about schools i will take aswell!
Both good options. I went 61 but in the long term it won’t make a massive difference just pick one and fly fly fly
Love the videos man! What are your thoughts on ATP flight school? Some people say it’s great others say it’s a scam..
Do you have any tips on getting prepped for the oral portion of the checkride? I was looking at the ACS and it seems like a lot of stuff. How did you manage your time to study the knowledge portion?
I would talk to your CFi about this. They should have great tips considering they recently went through it
Can i go to flight school straight out of high school or is a bachelors degree in math, physics, engineering, etc. more better?
I’m 37 and thinking about switching careers (currently a Financial Advisor). Am I too old?
Hey Joey, I’m a senior in highschool trying to get to the airlines ASAP through flight school, I know you know your stuff, I want a 141 school, Melbourne flight school, Epic flight academy over ATP? Or do you recommend ATP?
Is it worth it to start at 28 almost 29? Also, can you get loans for this?
Hi, Joey I’ve been really enjoying your page! My question is how did you pay for flight school? I wish there was some federal student loan but unfortunately all I’m seeing is private loans and I’m worried about the interest payments. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Did you have any flight training or experience prior to going to flight school?
None
Maybe I missed it in the video but how were you able to pay for your flight training if you don’t mind sharing?
$10k for a private? If you flew 60 hours that’s $160 per lesson. How much did your CFI bill you and how were your plane rentals? Standard Bay Area plane rental is around $200/hr + $100/hr for a CFI
How many lessons did you take per week? I’m currently flying 2/3 times per week for 1-1.5 hours per lesson. Is that too little or too much?
I mostly flew 3-4 days a week.
Working on my private license and taking my par exam this weekend! All while working a full time job. Is there any advice you can give on scholarships/loans to help afford training?
The school I recommend here does loans I believe. But yea if needed definitely take out the loan and you’ll pay it back fast once you’re in the airlines
Are you capable of setting up a test flight? I’m from a small town about to finish high school in california. I’ve really been stressed about how one would make money while starting out (before instructing)
