    Talk about plan B - I once ran into a gas station attendant here in Canada. He told me he came from Poland and used to be an airline captain. When he came to Canada, he was expecting to hire on with a Canadian airline, but no airline accepted his Polish credentials. So he had to work at a gas station to earn his money for flying lessons all over again. Man, I really felt for the guy...

      It happened to me as well in Montreal, QC. I ended up leaving the country to continue my flying career. I decided NOT to waste my time there. I got Canadian ATP the month after I signed a contract overseas to fly 737 Max. Off course I can not judge anyone, but if you have options, better keep doing what you love. No country no matter what, will give you the retribution and joy that come from flying *in the case of pilots.

      that dosent make any sense, if he was a captain with an ATPL EASA (which he must have as a captain) license he could have just done a simple license conversion, if im not wrong just a couple theoretical exams and a canadian medical license, no way did a captain have to earn money for flying lessons all over again

    Getting a PPL should cater and fulfill my hunger and desire for aircrafts and speed, rather than regretting not becoming a commercial pilot.

    The airline I work for doesn't have a union but they make up for that by providing exceptional contracts including full medical, dental, ljfe and even loss of license insurance. They keep us happy and unionless. This is the exception not the norm in the airline world. Oh and even after 23+ years at my airline and really, really good seniority, I'm still not guaranteed to get the trips I bid. Great video, excellent tips!

You start out as an ATR-42 FO regardless of previous experience, I was a jet Captain (BA11 old job) when hired, still took me around 18 years to reach Captain B757. So patience was required.

    Thank you Joe , as someone who studies business management at college I have always wanted to become an airline pilot and wasn’t really interested in getting bachelors degree in business management but with this video it really convinced me to make a plan B if things go wrong

    • @Nysoksieha
      @Nysoksieha 3 месяца назад

      You made the right choice, From my personal experience. I joined the MPL ( multi pilot license ) cadet program at Lanmei airline in Cambodia at the year 2022, the airline during that time operates quite well, I took my chance and effort to become an airline pilot, however as time goes by, in the year 2024. the airline fleet is reduced to zero, leaving all cadets behind, lost of time and money, some lost more money than others because they are senior cadets, and even employees left due to the airline failed to pay their wages. Airline industry in my country is unstable. I unfortunately don't have a plan B during that time, now I realize that it's best to have a college degree just in case aviation is unstable, it is a must now. I don't plan on joining the airline in the future if I have the chance again. too expensive haha, I will rather get a CPL, and be a sightseeing pilot instead, renting planes gathering passenger, flying them to interesting landmarks, so they can enjoy their experience on a single engine plane, it's like a vacation job for me. I'll keep a primary job during normal days, and still be a pilot in the holidays. Goodluck on your journey to become a pilot, best wishes to you.

    Every (young) pilot aspirant should watch this.
    I am 35 years old, I have a PPL and 250 hrs ttl. Becoming a pilot was a dream of mine for almost 20 years. I applied for ab initio programs when I was young but got rejected.
    Meanwhile, I have a wonderful job, like living in my city, love my spare time and so on. I recently thought of maybe flying commercially but spending almost another 40K on licences (without MCC or T/R), still being a rookie with over 200 hrs, having to move maybe, possibly losing the job when the economy shrinks and so on made my decide to stick to my PPL and fly whenever I want and I am happy with that 🙂

  • @sparkycjb
    @sparkycjb 3 месяца назад +16

    You say the seniority start over is fair, but there has to be a middle ground. Where a senior Captain could come in and maybe start 3/4 of the way up the first officer list. Otherwise, while it looks fair; it incentivizes non-compete in the labor pool. So everyone actually makes less than they could if they knew they could leave without a FULL reset of seniority. It works in the company's favor more than the pilots. Though that might be from an American standpoint where there are a lot less social safety nets and a lot fewer worker's rights.

  • @normg2242

    This was quite an eye-opener, thanks Joe! Seems to be exactly what I keep saying - being a pilot is not a job, it is a lifestyle that takes a lot of sacrifices and can't just be done "on the side" like being a salesman or something. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Captain Joe, thank you for this video!!!! 🙋‍♀There's a lot to be aware of when considering becoming a pilot in an airliner . I'm working on my PPL in western Austria at the moment. A teacher at my school, when I told him that I want to become a commercial pilot, gave me the example of you, saying that you went to the same school and was his student and now you are flying the 747..(That was what really motivated me😊) During my pilot training I often fly to southern Germany, for example to Leutkirch. As an aspiring pilot I've learnt a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work!!!!! Thank you Captain Joe🙏🙏

    When I was a child, my mum worked as a Cabin Manager, and she took me to see the cockpit during a flight. That moment ignited my dream of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, pursuing a career as an airline pilot wasn’t financially feasible at the time, so I decided to attend business school instead.
    Now, at 27, I serve as the Assistant Head of the Human Resources department for a luxury property. However, I often feel unfulfilled and lost in my current role. The thought of pursuing my dream of becoming a pilot has always been there, and it has resurfaced now that I can afford flight school. Yet, I’m apprehensive about making such a significant change. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't know where to start

    Hi Joe - thank you for the video. I would love to see you do a video addressing age when embarking on training. I am in my mid forties, midway through my ATPLs and due to start my CPL, CB-IR and MEP next year. Its a dream job for me, but it was financially unobtainable for a long time. I am motivated for achieving that dream but anxious about age. I have had several people say you are not to old but its hard to shake. Appreciate its always going to be a factor, but would love for you to do a video on this subject. Thank you :)

    About the "You can't choose the plane you want to fly". I have an advice.
    Just be glad that you get to fly at all. The pilot job market is competitive, and to secure a spot is no easy feat. Aside from that, if you really enjoy flying then it's fun regardless the plane.

    One thing about seniority that is worth mentioning. There are airlines out there which do not use seniority in upgrading, in vacation etc. it just depends on the airline. And moving airlines it can work both ways. Some airlines have fast track command positions for experienced FOs, or direct entry captains.

  • @rogermarine1443
    @rogermarine1443 Месяц назад

    💯 Excellent job. This is the reality we all must accept. The cost of being a pilot isn't just measured by the money paid for the training but by the opportunity cost; of money lost as you work towards qualifying for that airline job. There is also time away from home, and being forced to work in locations where you're not close to family and friends.

    Great advice hopefully this video reaches out a wide audience of future pilots. There are many exceptions to what was said on this video but that’s what they are “exceptions”. Some cargo operators will let you be based wherever you want in the world, you are just responsible to be 24hrs prior to the start of your schedule wherever this may be. Some operators offer 15 days on / 15 days off so you can be home half a month with your family and away the other half.

    We were leaving Honolulu 10 years ago and our destination was PDX. This was before my wife and I retired. We were anxious to take off and head for the Mainland. It is a 6 hour flight and even with the 2 or 3 hour time difference by the time we land, get our luggage and get over to get our car out of parking, then the 1 hour plus drive home we are lucky to get to bed by 1 AM. And we had to be at work at 8 AM. So we finally are rolling down the runway. Just as we "rotate" and the nose lifts up, we immediately feel hard braking, the nose comes down the ailerons (or speed brakes) flip up and we hear the air rushing over them. We slow down dramatically. The Captain comes on to describe that this was a very Smart Airplane, (an Airbus A-330) and brand new. And what happened was that we experienced maximum braking. The flight was aborted by the plane's computer due to hot brakes? Which sure seemed odd. Never have been able to figure that one out. The mechanics were supposed to put fans on the brakes to cool them down in a few minutes, which turned into a few hours. Why would the brakes be hot? were they partially engaged while taxiing from the terminal to the runway? In Honolulu the Terminal is separate from the runway areas. The takeoff and landing runways are on a man-made island the planes need to taxi to. Anyone have any answers?

    Your advice about having a Plan B is SOLID! I think it's wise to have skills that allow you to work outside the cockpit. Here in the US, it's easy for an aspiring pilot to study something like accounting, finance, engineering, etc. Why? Because major airlines prefer degreed candidates. It's not quite the ironclad requirement it was years ago, but helps to have one. That being the case, an aspiring pilot might as well get a degree in something else, like accounting. That way, not only are his hiring chances improved; he has a backup in case he can't fly anymore for whatever reason.

    Become a Pilot is so hard. If you dont get accepted at a airline as a student you can basically forget it and there are not many open slots at all. If you wanna do it yourself prepare to spend 120k and not have any job safety at all until you get accepted somewhere. Then pray that the company does go broke or your airbase changes… i really dont inderstand how there is not a massive amount of needed pilots

I want to do a lot of things with aircraft and the airlines will help me save to getting a CAT 3 test pilots licence and Ag-Rated as well as Flight Instructor rated. I'll probably never be a captain and that's fine, the airlines are what is going to help me build the career I want.

    Which disencouraged me, and im starting to think of getting a proper flight school lessons before hand, but im worried im not up for it, even though i was born with the LOVE for flying, and i mean, Being 9 years old having books of aerodynamics and playing flight sim while everyone is playing one their playstation or playing football
    I know its an Ad that lessons you showed, but i do think it would be bad to be prepared like you said, ill give it a shot, i need some encouragement.

    Thanks for the video Captain Joe! I have wanted to become an airline pilot, but experienced motion sickness a couple times going up in small planes during discovery flights. Does this go away eventually the more you fly? Thanks for the videos!

    How tall should you be to sit properly in the cockpit and fly the aircraft??
    What's the minimum and maximum height of a pilot ??
    Are there pilots in the airline who are less than 5.2 feet tall??

      In order to become a pilot within the Lufthansa group you have to be between 165 cm (5 ft 5) and 198 cm (6 ft 6) of height. I don't know what the requirements are at other airlines tbh

    22:47 what kills my motivation, is how hard it is to become captain, and then having to start as an fo again if you switch from regionals to majors.
    Not to mention the silly no facial hair rule.

    I'm fairly glad you want to fly down here with us to Australia. Negatives - Hot weather bad pressure height. Positives - Very easy UTC time. Literally just +10.

    The fact that companies stop pilots from forming Unions is infuriating to me. As a Railway worker I'm now part of a union formed against a recent change in work times that kills our work-life balance. Heck, having to decide between changing airline and losing seniority or bending to the CEO will make me miserable

    Should not be the best and most experienced Pilot be the captain ? The seniority list is not in favor for the pilots.

    • @flywithcaptainjoe

      How do you determine who "the best most experienced pilot" is? The seniority is fair, full stop!

    I've always dreamed of being a pilot, and next year I’ll start college. But I’m not sure if I should go for it because of my height. As a Southeast Asian guy who's 5'2", I'm worried I might have trouble reaching the dashboard and overhead panels in an airplane.

  • @KensHobbies409

    Thank You very much for this information! It was very informant to hear the full results of becoming a pilot. I do have 1 question in hearing this and that is..."How long is the career based on, example age & is there a limit?"

  • @yahyash_7849
    @yahyash_7849 3 месяца назад

    Explanations are very thourough, but I am trying to see if getting a college degree would be the right move to become a pilot and depending on the airline I decide to work for.

    hey joe. so I live in Newfoundland 🇨🇦 so are you saying there is a chance i won’t be able to stay on the island and that an airline would have me move to the Mainland somewhere?
