- I am sorry to have to tell you that, unfortunately it is nothing else but the truth 😔.
If you have started though and paid, finish the program !
This my advise to you dear friends 💫.

Whilst im aware that this may not be the perfect time to get into the aviation industry, I disagree on the "Don’t study Aviation now !". Student pilots like myself who go down the GA path and start their training now will graduate in 1-2 years time and wont have the hours and experience required to be able to join an airline. It'll take years (as you probably know) to build up the hours and experience required to join an airline and by the time that happens, im 110% certain that air travel will resume back to normal, pilots will get their jobs back, airlines will start to hire again and etc. Personally I would much rather take the plunge and start my training now so that when the airlines start hiring again I have all the licenses and hours required to apply rather than start later and delay my career.
While I cant speak for other countries, here in Australia things are starting to get a bit better and airlines are slowly starting to fly again which is a good sign.
Also, lets not forget that aviation isnt all about flying the big jets. There's a lot more to it than that 😉
I agree, if your going the GA route you likely won’t be employable for the airlines for at least 2-3 years, by which time hopefully most travel has started to pick up again, my instructor who also flys for qantas rekons the same as there will be plenty of older guys who would likely not plan on returning if they are close to retirement age anyway. Who knows, if lots of pilots retire early that pilot shortage we used to hear so much about could come back even bigger in the long run.
Thank you for this message bro
Justarandomuser 👌🏻
Thanks for saying something positive mehn!!!!
Thanks for this, its what needed. just too negative so nice to have some positivity from you.
Honest comments are rare right now! All credit to you! I myself was mid way through my Intergrated ATPL at a school in Oxford UK.... Despite me being the only student to have left I did and funny enough im doing the same as you studying Medicine.... I wish you all the best of luck mate thank you for being so open and honest about the situation at hand!
At least somebody is telling as the truth in this difficult situation. Thank you pilot Alexander and continue to open our eyes during this pandemic
👍🏻
I’m happy that someone is actually being honest throughout this crisis. Thank you so much for the truth!
👍🏻
I believe you alexander
I completely agree with you! *at last someone makes sense in the middle of this nightmare!
Thanks 👍🏻
@@PilotAlexander thank you very much Captain
Thank you for being honest, and I wish you the best of luck!
I chose to study accountancy and finance instead, of going to flying schools and training to become a pilot as a couple of months ago I saw a lot of flying schools just interested in the money you were given them and being dishonest, and telling me that they could get me to places. I did this So later on down the line when the aviation industry recovers In maybe 5 years I can reconsider changing my current career! And then following my dreams. Everything happens for a reason!
👍🏻🙏🏻
That is the truth. Thank for being honest and warn others. It takes 2-3 years to recovery the damage economic around the world.
Jass K 🙏🏻
@@PilotAlexander just knew your channel today from Captain Joe. Thanks Cap. Alex, really cool to share honest opinions 💪
It'll take the decade IMO. We were already in a depression, this is an extreme governmental overstep.
Very well said Pilot Alexander! I myself am in a catch 22 position between airlines, but hopefully things should return to normal. Absolutely shocking how schools are trying to fool young people. This career is amazing, but no is not the time!
Absolutely correct
I'm now a doctor waiting in the wings for my license and I've always dreamed to become a Pilot just making my profession as a bridge to finance my dream. It's facinating to hear a Pilot who wants to become a Doctor. It's very unfortunate that we all have to put our dreams on hold for now. It's amazing tho that there are people who are as honesg as you who refuse to tell encourage what is not real.
jascgt 🙏🏻👍🏻
True however since many airlines are slashing jobs, when the pandemic ends and air travel peaks back to normal again, we might need more pilots again. Hopefully Aviation doesn't fall totally due to this pandemic.
👍🏻
Far from normal, there's going to be new standards therefore new normals. Let's see how leaders dictate that
Alex you speak Right from my soul . I really appreciate the honesty and that you share your thoughts with us here on RUclips . I have wanted to become an airline pilot since I was 7years old , and I still want to chase my dream because I’m convinced I can make it , but the aviation industry is completely screwed at the moment , that’s why I totally agree with you to invest money , energy and so on, into something different like a college degree . All the best during these times and thanks for the great content
👍🏻👍🏻
Da si Bogdom posteniji pilot,bolje bi ti bilo,mnogo si pun sam sebe...@@PilotAlexander
That's why I love following you and mentour pilot ...you have one thing in common HONESTY ,you don't just impress people ;say the truth no matter how hurtful it seems .... thanks for telling the truth
👍🏻🙏🏻
But mentour said that you can go into training if you're looking at graduating in about 2 or 3 years. However I find pilot Alexander's explanation more convincing.
Thanks capt for your honesty ❤ you give us the real picture 🙏
Don't quite agree completely, this is probably the perfect time to start and study especially pass all the required ground exams so that once the aviation industry picks up, you will be finished your 1 to 2 year course and start a job in aviation. But also keep your main job to pay for it all
Harry Barodawala it’s the perfect time 👌🏻
I am not a pilot but by profession as an electrical engineer. I sincerely wanted to say that you are the best, never seen anyone who is very sincere and giving a great sincere guidance to the young generation for the future. Thank you so much 🙏. I saw your youtube channel, great landing and take off. You are best in your profession and also a wonderful person.
Hi captain! Ex QR crew of 13 yrs.. 350 fleet but flew with you in 330. I just found out you resigned too. I resigned middle of last year and left Doha, luckily, before the pandemic happened. Knowing our ex-company very well, i truly agree with your honest truth about aviation these days, we always get to talk about conversations of job security in the cockpit most of the time so i know what you really mean and your advice is very timely and honest. All the best captain! Glad to see you here😉
This message has nothing to do with QR ... ! Thanks anyway 👍🏻
Thank you for having such a kind and caring heart. You help to uplift the planet.
I hope to see you again in the skies really soon my friend. I’m a pilot and even though I’m still flying thanks to my God, the situation is really tough, but at the same time I think, this situation is bringing people down but we need to chill out you know because we can't control what’s happening. Stay safe.
Gerardo Martinez Oficial 🙏🏻
Agree with you there. Best thing is to study something else University or even something like 2 year electrician course. On the meanwhile slowly pick up your PPL (learn and really understand) and later on your CPL. Build the hours slowly and enjoy it. Make money on the side while aviation improves.
It’s JC on the 340 👍🏻
Hi Pilot Alexander, thanks for your honest opinion. I live in Qatar, grew up in this beautiful country, and currently have a very good paying job at Qatargas. I do not like my job and after watching you, Captain Joe, and Mentour Pilot really wanted to become a pilot. But at 33 with parents depending on me and the aviation industry being so hard hit by covid, this is not the time to make a career change move.
Thanks for your honest opinion again. Probably will have to be happy watching flight videos on YT :(
You are right. But in MPL schools it’s different, because the cadet will be associated with an airline to train him and get him the contractual experience of 1500 hours on A320 for instance. I’m a representative of myself too. A commander of A320 here in UAE. I join my voice to your voice and I warn people not to invest into pilot career at this point. Especially self sponsored CPL IR ME, you will be on your own on the hunt for a job and end up accepting to teach as an instructor for a very low wage and unless you love teaching and enjoy it, you will just torture yourself and the students you will fly with because you will be resenting yourself blaming yourself feeling unlucky and betrayed by aviation!
Ahmed Al Saadawi 👍🏻
i cried when i watched this vid. i swear, but i know now that my mum is actually correct about everything. she told me (since this is covid crisis, and pilot schools are closed) to go to other college and find another degree. damn Alex you are so right! you are talking as if you are my friends and tell us what we really need to know. thanks Alex..
This video needs to go viral to all the avaition audience. I hope Mentour pilot watches this video too. Thank you
👍🏻
and in 2 years??
edgar don’t know
Alex, I am absolutely with you in your opinion bro, dont mind the hostile messages, people are concerned about losing students in flight schools. The pilots with 5000h waiting on the sideline will be the first who get the jobs in the next few years, not the fresh ones, who will be waiting many years more to get into a cockpit and be payed!
I was thinking of starting this year but now that i thought about it i dont think i should at the moment, it’s definitely not the time for aviation, thank you so much Captain ❤️
I will be ready to start flight training in 2023/2024. Do you think that that will be an okay time to train? Airlines surely will want pilots again by then, right?
I am an aviation enthusiast, but I think that the entire business of aviation is almost entirely for wealthy people...I have been flying gliders for ten years for fun, but even that has become(here in Italy) a sport for people who have not the problem of paying bills while struggling to find a job...and unfortunately that is my situation now...I love flying, but the reality is that it is something that people of the average working class can't even dream to do anymore...
The amount of pilots stranded without jobs is so sad right now. Thanks for speaking the truth.
YouSoRusso 🙏🏻
I totally agree. Great and honest video but could you imagine until when it would makes sense to start flight school again???
I don’t know
Hard words for me personally because it's my dream to become a pilot since I am 6 years old. Now I'm 18 and I don't have that perfect plan B because of that dream. But it's good to hear what other pilots think about that topic and I think I have to accept that it is not good and easy in the moment to become a pilot.
Chris Göke you still have time
Thank you for this video. Very straightforward and to the point. 🙂
👍🏻
I'm so heart broken 💔 but at the same time grateful for the truth.
Great and honnest message. It is tough to accept the truth but it is the way it is. Let's take this time to learn and come back stronger when better times come.
Merci Alexandre. Impatient de découvrir tes nouvelles videos en cette nouvelle année.
Hello sir, as I know that major airlines in the USA such as United airlines, Delta airlines, American airlines need their pilots to have a four year degree. If I have just a (C.A) Chartered accountant degree OR just a (C.P.A) will such airlines accept those kinda degrees because they are not related to aviation.will they accept it?Any idea..
Muskaan Ahuja now no companies accept anyone
@@PilotAlexander That I know sir I am talking about future not for the present.....
Yes Sir I Totally agree with you!!
Personally i think its not about aviation industry i am Sure aviation industries are definatly going to revive in short time as soon as this pandemic ends because yes there will be people who always travels.
But the big and most obvious Question which "aspiring pilots" tends to avoid is that will there be vacancies for pilot in future especially for the freshers! because today itself there are experianced pilots with huge no of flying hours looking for vacansies again after they lost their existing job and so the young folks like us will have that huge disadvantage because all the vacancies even if it comes will be acquired by them so i think its safer for people who are aspiring to get in aviation to keep it hold for few years do something else for time being.
!!!! i know it hurts personally it kills me😞😞😞 because i my self i am a aspiring pilot was about to get into flying school but kept it in hold because its not a small thing its a big money. and if you have that kind of money to spare then its your call.
Thank you for your amazing advice. I am studying Aeronautical Engineering also i ll start ppl this summer i ll graduate 3 years later so i hope we will see better days. Love you so much 💕.
👍🏻
I agree with you.. the next two/three years there is a big change the avation is screaming for pilots!
You guys can study aviation now but not in a flying school just try x plane 11 p3d or fsx in our country a pilot build an virtual airline based on the a320 and hes teaching aspiring pilot's right now in the real checklist call outs etc. Its just all dedication.
👍🏻
Interesting thought. I didn't expect to hear it's not a good idea to become a pilot now. I'm not a pilot, I work in an IT company. But I always thought that becoming a pilot is a good investment. It appears it isn't. At least right now.
AlexanderTES 👌🏻
Well Said! Aviation industry will take several years until it regain traction back to its norm. I would invest my time and money in more realistic careers.
👍🏻👍🏻
Oops. What about now?
Hi Alexandre, you’re right, I just finished my pilot training (ab initio) and at 90% I will go back to my old job, it's really discouraging
🙏🏻👍🏻😓
👍verry much honest. Its not a good idea now
👍🏻🙏🏻
Heard it was bad before, this is even worse
Sad thing is I’m a 12th grade next year
And in college I wanted to attend school for 2 years to become an a&p mechanic
👍🏻
I agree with your point alexander, airlines are downsizing for the time being etc. If you dont mind answering, which engineering degree did you do?
👍🏻
What if you cant think of anything else that you like, than the love of planes..
Ran Carl sad indeed
Hii..gdmrng Alex....great nd very usefull advice to youngsters who don't know wht to study..wht to do in our life...for study of aviation nowadays is not so much advisable ..tht you very nicely nd humbly told to us...I am very much agreed with you...I am big follower of you bcz your every video is saying some thing very very usefull in our life...very thankfull to you..come soon with wonderful many more videos dear..great
Loving your videos.
How long do you think it will take for the aviation industry to come back up?
To a state where new atpl students get jobs.
Justus Sebastian 👍🏻
Thank you sir finally! Being an aviation enthusiast but still I get so bored when it's all about a planes planes planes it's like ffs there are other more important things and joys of life especially current circumstances life is too short enjoy each day for what it is! Spend time with family, learn new passion , hobby whatever ! Thank you. With respect to other people in aviation are very stubborn and plenty with ego just thinking life is All about planes it is not! Period! And the world has changed and travel will change!
What would you advice for a student pilot already in training for 2 years ?
TheRevenant read my caption
Don't you think in 2-3 years the situation will get back to normal?
I'm only a GA pilot so I don't really know how long it usually takes to build up from 0 to airline pilot but I would assume at least a few years...
I don’t know
Yo i was going to go to QAC in 2 years. Now that i heard this, time to reconsider
Omar K yes 👍🏻
@@PilotAlexander thanks bro
I am always appreciate 🙏👌❤️,your peaceful energy, Excellent important information us,you are a quite, innocent pilot,God bless you❤️🙏❤️❤
Hey Alex, thanks for the video man. I got accepted to a "frozen ATPL" program for 61,600CAD (absolute minimums) without living, additional fees for flying, food or uniform.
I want to get my PPL still but perhaps I can finish my online masters in Regenerative Neurology (completely unrelated).
I dont want to hurry to a halt with loads of dept but i am eager to start a career and ive been learning whenever I can. What do you think?
Ps. I know a guy... Who knows a guy... Who isnt in a position to finish his licenses (PPL, CPL, Multi/IFR, ME) who's 75k in the hole....
Take care man
👍🏻
Take care always your journey✈️
Captain Alex thanks for the honesty, I got to know you from Captain Joe 🙏🙏❤️
Great insight! Thanks for sharing this!
Pedro Carvalho 🙏🏻
Merci pour cette belle video Alexander, jetais en train de chercher un flight school mais je vais attendre et faire autre chose
Oui c’est mieux
@@PilotAlexander ah mais tu es français Alexander???
The pilot hiring will resume only when the traffic will have fully restarted. Some Airlines say that the traffic is gonna go back normal at the beginning of 2022 which means that there will be a lot of pilots or flight attendants missing to answer the demand of passenger travelling. If Airlines reopen their cadet programs the new pilots will need at least two or three years to be fully formed and ready to fly passengers. So those pilots will only start to fly in 2024/2025 which seems to be a reasonable moment. For me Airlines are not going to make the same mistakes than during the 2008 global economic crisis and stop recruiting for the next ten years. It’s just an optimistic way to see the 2020 corona virus crisis in therms of pilot recruitment. But we can’t lie though because during the next years until at least the end of 2021 the recruitment isn’t gonna restart.
Ronan Chabot let’s see
Thanks for the thoughts but how much time it will take means how many yrs we have to wait for the enrollment in flying club .
👍🏻
Thanks bro . I’m making more money as a over the road truck driver in US. Lol . Always wanted to be a pilot 👨✈️. Maybe one day.
De toute façon crise ou pas, c'était déjà la galère. Une bonne partie de ceux qui payent leurs formations ne deviennent jamais pilote ou alors sont obligé passer par le pay to fly.
Absolutely
I have my atpl since October 2018 and no work iam totally agree with you
skander said see, you’re an exemple, imagine now after the crisis
Pilot Alexander recently emirates sacks 600 pilots and 700 cabin crew i don’t now if it is true or not
Sad but true
👍🏻
Thank you so much.. i was thinking to go to poilet school..but it's not good time now
Elephant Ride yes
Good advice pilot, never mind the neg cmts
jitheshk40 🙏🏻
Sir I just wanna ask why don’t you fly GA? Like flying some turboprops
👍🏻
I agree with you completely
👍🏻🙏🏻
Agree ♡
👍🏻
You are right thank you good pilot ⭐⭐⭐
True what you say about aviation, but you are wrong about singers - us musicians are also severely affected by this crisis, and we also try to make a difference to the world, not just show our pretty faces. We have a calling in life to move people, but in a different way to you. Maybe don't comment on things you don't really understand, and stick to aviation.
For how long should we wait till going back to avation, I've been saving money all my life till I had the moment, how long should I wait more to study avation and make my dream comes true?!
what about studying aviation a year from now?
Capt. Alexander did you leave aviation career? And why did you leave qatar airways
Your very nice and good pilot❤ sir
what do you think about studying aviation after 2 and half years like do you think that will be enough time for aviation industry to get up back. 😊
It's upto the people how fast and more they buy tickets to refill the economic dent in airline business , no one could give the estimations about the time period
Shaheer considering corona is basically non existent with these protest I hope the economy etc fixes in the next year
12 grade next year, wanted to do aviation to become a a&p mechanic, so I’d be working 3 years from now, actually sad knowing imma prob run into debt
I don’t know
@@Mistyfgdf I don't see a quick regain besides we still in corona it hasn't end yet , where as in many countries this still has to peak, and me as well having amazing plans for my Aviation start-up , I had planned to start my flight school approximately late this year or early next year but now I doesn't seems an any good idea to do during corona or airline crisis .
Well said Alexander - spot about the training rip off and the dumping of talent
Je pense au ça.. mais surtout vous . Vous êtes un pilote de A380 , cette avion qui va se retirer ... comment vous allez faire.
Regardes mes vidéos !!!!
Pilot Alexander vous piloter une CS300 ... waw j'adore cet avion... bon continuation vous avez bien choisi l'avion futuriste
Idriss Bouhoun non pas du tout
Gracias por estos comentarios Capitán!!!!
There are tons of aviation job. Not only airlines..
Agency is making money. You’re right. So right now i ak preparing DGCA exams. So i used stay back now. For a while
Sir will atleast flying for the military be a good idea
I’m only 12... 😥
TheRealHax you have time
I’ve started my PPL already :(
👍🏻
@@PilotAlexander I shall continue to try my best in the program, but it's a shame that aviation is falling. Also, how can I grow my aviation youtube channel ?
True so trueee
Sweet massage sir.
The future: third world levels of safety.
Irv Hh ??
Sir how about aeronautical engineering
Calm down captain..🙏🙏🌹🌹
Good
Ok
It isn't 'Gulf' my friend its called 'Persian Gulf' you cant be that bad with geography ur a pilot 😁
Ok
Nice video sir.
J’ai pas trop compris vu que je suis français sinon je te soutiens à1000%
😉👍🏻
Pilot to doctor 👍🙏
How expression !
Wait what :(
👍🏻
Pilot Alexander this makes me sad because I have always wanted to become a pilot since I was a kid :(
@@dochudson4875
No problem man. I was supposed to join a flying school but I'm now reconsidering my decision. There will be brighter days. You can do something for the time being and after this situation is over you can always fly.
arjun shawn diwaker thx bro
Bad advice! Investment in yourself is never a bad idea.
