Hey Scott, it was so great to hear you’r story on becoming an awesome corporate pilot 👨🏻✈. Hope you and the family have been well and hope you are enjoying the south of France 🇫🇷, it’s such a great place to tune out and relax. Also as always you are looking so handsome and you got that summer glow to you. Hope you have a great week buddy. Cheers 🍻.
Thank you for sharing your career story in our industry. Those Cessna Citation Cjs are very nice! Then to step up to the Challenge 600s is very nice. Now, being up to the larger Global looks great!! I hope commuting is not too bad for you getting to your HQ base. ☺
Your story Scott is a good lesson to young pilots like me and aspiring pilots... Sometime in this industry we have to deal with hard times and challenges. In your case for example the recession, in my case the pandemic. You are the demonstration that is important to never give up, be positive and open to change plans (but not the goal)
Thank you, times can get difficult every now and again. However, if you keep working toward the ultimate goal. You will overcome any challenge set in front of you
Fascinating account Scott - interesting how world events like recession etc all play a part in your backstory. Thanks very much for sharing. Looking forward to the next film. Best wishes Steve
Hi Steve, I agree 100%. You have a planned path in mind and then circumstances change that lead you down a different road. I did have a couple of interviews, however not getting the jobs led me on my current career path. What's meant for you won't pass you.
R u living in Italy now r still flying back uk to Europe? This morning I was in pairs drop off pax from New York came home now I’m on a 6 day rest so lots to do happy to see u again keep ❤❤ the job
Hi Emma, no I still live in the uk. I commute as and when we have a flight. Who in Le bourget do you use? We go to Paris a lot. 6 days at home is always a blessing. Fly safe
Is it common within corporate Aviation to do an aptitude test with a psychologist prior to getting some of these jobs or is the Class A medical enough? Thanks for sharing your journey Captain!
Another great video Scott! In your opinion do you think integrated students have a greater chance of securing employment after training than modular students? I have been weighing up the different factors of both training types and would love some professional insight. Thanks👍
Hi Sean, the main difference in my opinion, there are advantages to both. Modular training, although you're not a known flight school that will have contacts and a relationship with the airline. You do get to mix with pilots from all backgrounds. So integrated is structured and the top 1% will be recommended to partner airlines. Going down this route won't build relationships with other crew. However you may have a better chance of getting interviews. Modular for me was great fun, I met a lot of amazing very successful pilots that I still know to this day. This in turn can get you recommended for interviews for all aspects of flying. I can't say what the correct path for you will be. For me if I were to start again would still go modular. I hope this made some sense. Happy to answer further if not
@@Scott_Barclay To be honest Scott, yes it did cost me more but those extra hours "Under the Hood" with an instructor, doing unusual attitude and recovery was the best thing as a low time PPL I evere did. Especially I inadvertently got into real IMC conditions. I think it should be made mandatory as part of the PPL course now. What do you think ?
Also it gave me my first introduction to Precision and Non Precision approaches using basic VOR/NDB use...and especially Spatial Disorientation. That is the one thing above all else I took away from that course... Always Trust Your Instruments.....not your brain. Still true today as it was back then.
Hey, chances are very good depending on the aircraft size and weather or not it's private or charter. There are a lot of companies employing at the moment. You could fly large corporate on charter because the company will have training captains and instructors. Unfortunately for private it comes down to what our insurance company will allow. For us we have a minimum of 250hrs Jet time before they would consider a pilot.

Thank you for watching, very much appreciated. It's been a fun journey over the last 10 years. Who knows what the next 10 will bring
@@Scott_Barclay I hear you. I did not commute to work when I was in the industry and I was glad that I did not.

10 out of 10, again, Scott.

@@Scott_Barclay I agree with you Scott! Thanks for the reply.
Hi Scott, great video as always. On my PPL course it had an integrated IMC Rating. Did you get offered that on yours ?
Hi Andrew, I did not have that option. Just the 45hrs then skill test. I enquired about IMC but it was an extra cost above the PPL

From Biggin Hill we flew over to Calais to practice shooting ILS approaches as it was much cheaper.... however, the Airport Cafe wasn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What are the chances of a newly qualified EASA and CAA fATPL holder getting straight into the corporate world Scott?
Hey, chances are very good depending on the aircraft size and weather or not it's private or charter. There are a lot of companies employing at the moment.
You could fly large corporate on charter because the company will have training captains and instructors. Unfortunately for private it comes down to what our insurance company will allow. For us we have a minimum of 250hrs Jet time before they would consider a pilot.
Thanks mate. I’m sending out CV’s like confetti, but I’m yet to even get an acknowledgment!
