Understandable, just would like to have as much knowledge and somewhat know what to expect.

Good point. Can’t predict the future. I did see airline traffic is starting to spike and IF a vaccine comes by the end of the year that may turn the tide. But like you said, who knows.

Hey all, posted here a couple times pre Covid and now I’m starting to worry if dropping nearly 100k for flight training/school is a good idea. I have two questions- What is the likely hood of the pilot shortage coming back? At this point in time, I’m aiming more towards corporate flying than...

Good info. Appreciate it.

Yeah Im definitely in that bottom rung right now. Just trying to consider all my options is all. Thanks

Great to know. Thanks!

Not opposed to it. But have heard a lot of stories about how they basically own you etc. Crash pads and commutes are horrible but that could have been just for that specific regional.

I’ve heard so many different opinions on what the virus will do to the industry. Only time will tell. But you do have a point with higher hours. I’m still at least 3 years out so hopefully it will bounce back by then.

Hey all, quick question as I’m weighing my options on the whole AA/BA path. The plan is to finish flight school and work for a part 135 operation while I get my associates. If I can log turbine time and rack up decent hours, what are my chances of getting hired on at Southwest as an FO? Also...

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Great info and thoughts!

I’m shooting to have 1500 hours in two years, hopefully things will improve then.

Absolutely. Good for him!

A friend of mine mentioned he may be able to hire me with 250 hours to fly Cessna 414s. That would be my preferred route as it’s turbine time and building hours and real world experience.

That’s completely fair, just trying to figure out my odds.

I appreciate that very much

I’m not opposed to moving by any means. Just curious as to my odds of getting MCO.

Orlando to key west isn’t 20 minutes.

Thankfully the economy is in a different place. Well, it was until this virus happened

If I start Commercial single in June then do the multi add on, CFI etc that would probably put me about 1500 hours in 2 years give or take. What do you think?

I’ve been looking into that but a lot of them want 1500 hours
