Get a useful education you can fall back on during the next lost decade. That’s not necessarily a bachelors degree. I helped hire many pilots, and I pushed forward candidates who showed dedication towards something for a significant period of time. That’s really what college proves you can do. I’ll never forget the deep sea welder I rallied for, who when asked why he didn’t go to college, replied “I could have spent 4 years doing keg stands and being hung over, but I wanted to make a lot of money, and master a skill, and invest the proceeds in to flying and training.” I was sold!
That education or trade training can wait right now. If you’re a good student get that flight training done ASAP. Everything at the airlines is based on seniority. Four years is a long time to lose in seniority. Right now the gravy train is running over but it could stop any time. Once you’re hired at your airline you can start concentrating on learning a trade on the side or get a Degree. If things turn South the first thing that goes is the, not having to have a Degree, requirement. I’ve been in aviation since 1982 and it’s never been like this, and it won’t last. If you have the opportunity to go to a full time flight school and get your ratings in 6 months time, do it. The difference in a year of seniority down the line could mean sitting in the co-pilot seat 10 years longer, costing you millions of dollars.
Bud, you have to look at it in a different light. They're not going to hand out flight training funds like candy at Easter. Flight training is a 10-12 month (minimum) commitment. Most people probably finish in 1.5-2 years. Most people will wash out of the program due to time+ money required.
There _is_ a shortage. The $100K is just the bare minimum cost of the schooling, simulators, teachers... Even in my country, the airlines are slowly getting desperate and opening programs to make it easy for potential students to find it and enrol. Though, they still require them to shell these costs.
Don't do it just for the money, you will drop everything. Opportunities with other career choices to make tons of money is a pipewelder especially if you travel, I quit to work towards piloting.
At 04:52...I hope that's an old video because if he now flies with Spirit, the aircraft they use do not have yokes! Spirit flies Airbus aircraft which uses a side stick.
It's a temporary shortage soon the terrible regional pilot's pay will come back . Here in the middle east region passed through multiple true pilot shortage and in such circumstances middle eastern earlines sponsored thier national training for free or at worst discounted the cost from.the pilot pay and I don't see this happening in US
@@jibrillndny9126 Middle Eastern airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, El Al (Israel)... they pay the highest because they only employ citizens. In America and other places, they allow foreigners too, so the salaries aren't that great.
There is a pilot shortage in America. It's just like I said - Middle Eastern countries strictly only employ their own citizens. Usually, retirees from their respective air forces. But in America, Europe, Japan... you can just allow immigrants to fill-in those ranks. So the pay isn't that great.
@@alexvig2369 There was a time when we used to hire military retirees as well....and the pay wasn't near great, primarily for most on low-mid seniority. Times have certainly changed!!!
They haven't really.. keep in mind "4000 hours" just means 4000 hours flying.. it could be that you flew the "same hour" 4000 times without really learning anything new but were just doing the same flight in your local area over and over again.. pilots go through enough in flight school and later in type rating to be more than qualified to fly airliners.. in Europe there is no hour requirement to be hired by an airline and there are no problems with the pilots
Then you are not familiar with what’s been going on in cockpits of major airlines in the U.S. There is a massive shift in the experience level of pilots in the major airlines and it is a problem. The premise that just going through a flight civilian school of some type and type rating and being fully qualified to fly an airliner is horrifying. Some foreign carries do this and are babysat for a huge amount of hours..just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s safe’ German Wings as an example.
The ending is crazy. The interviewer asking about free flights tickets. And made a joking about dad asking. Pilot straight said this interview is over 😁😁😁😁😆😆😆🤷♂️
what i am wondering is, after getting all the certificate at Apt which only guarantee 250 hours but to be hired by an airline I need 15000 hours. my question is, how or where am I going to complete the hours necessary after getting all my certificates?
Is this why there are so many near misses at airports this year? I’ve read about the issues stated by pilots with dated ATC tech, staffing issues, but as a frequent flier I feel like 1,500 hours is a drastic reduction.
Degrees are a joke. I've been a software engineer for 28 years without a degree; ENTIRELY self-educated, and I can code circles around people with a degree. Now, I tried to become a pilot recently, but FAA BS around certain medications made it such a pain in the butt I said to hell with it.
Glory and honor be to our CREATOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHT who gave to man this wisdom of making an Aircraft. And my grate desire is to become an AIRLINE PILOT through the grace of GOD. TOTAL BLEESING IS UPON EVERYONE WHO BELIEVE THAT.

This is amazing ive been wanting to be a pilot since i was a kid but no having a Bachelors has held me back am going for it now thanks for the info
If there were really. A pilot shortage, it wouldn’t cost me 100,000.
@J H are you starting private pilot training or for a major?

Lmao the reason there is a shortage is because it costs $100k at least lol
0:40 "The license that allows you to fly through the storms" hmmm I am a little worries to fly on Spirit from now on...
Just turn on pitot heat when going through the storm and you’ll be solid. Also maximum forward airspeed to get through the storm faster 🥸
Fly through storms. Not a great way to describe it, but hey.....zero to hero.😂😂
Interesting insights! Good work Daniyal!
Woww...he reminds me. "Catch me if you can".
At 04:52...I hope that's an old video because if he now flies with Spirit, the aircraft they use do not have yokes! Spirit flies Airbus aircraft which uses a side stick.
all the inserts (videos of the aircraft) have been shared by the pilot.
sim maybe
Based on all the videos its a 170 he probably flew before going to spirit
This guy is a great guy, trust him.!
Laiss Khairzada thank you! Very very insightful.
I pay $168 for a c172 and $120 for instructor! The instructor fee is absolutely insane
That is pretty high, unless you have an exceptional instructor.
Depends on where you are I’m in Mississippi and it will cost me 4K for to get my PPL.
@@jasmineartis5754is this actually true?😂
@@prashantkc8816 I’m so serious.
Oh sure, but when YOU are an instructor, you'll want top pay. Quit complaining. EVERYONE now wants to be a pilot. Supply and demand -- simple enough!
It's a temporary shortage soon the terrible regional pilot's pay will come back .

Hey im muslim living in US, 26 years old, is there anyway i can get sponsored/trained by a middle eastern airline?

It’s a shame that they have really dumbed down the requirements as well as experience now.

Not 15000 it is 1500
CFI is how you get the rest of your flight hours

Most important is the green card 😂

Hi captain
I'm from Ghana am 17 years old, please how can I apply for better aviation school
Do you have $300k+ and speak perfect English? If not, get a more realistic job.

Amen let’s get in touch! We got this
Scaring !! These american pilots would not obtain their licence in Europe
