    Thoughts and info on AA Cadet Academy

    I agree that the old fashioned way has it's plus that it doesn't limit your options as far as companies. But for me, the old fashioned way is difficult when you're still trying to hold down a full time airline gig. I'm a stew based in ATL and live in MEM so I commute as well. Having to fly...

    Thoughts and info on AA Cadet Academy

    Hello all! Just wanting to get some thoughts and info on AA's Cadet Academy. Looking to submit my application by the end of the month. Currently working on my PPL and just about to start my XC flights. I've looked into the cost of the AA program and it's really no different than ATP or...

    Air Venture. I looked at downtown but Air Venture is a 10min drive. Downtown would take me about 30+. And I like to try and schedule early flights due to my schedule limitations

    Thank you. I needed to hear all of that. And it’s making me realize that I need a CFI that says “Dude”. Cause that’s my jam. :)

    Unfortunately with the majors we rarely overnight together. Even when we do, they hightail it so far away from us it’s comical. The industry has changed. I definitely miss my regional days. Oh the fun we had

    Major. And yes, most are super excited for me and have offered a TON of wonderful (and repetitive) advice. Problem is, I only get a few minutes with them before boarding starts and the door closes. Then we land and a whole new set joins my crew. Haha

    It’s whats been available when I have the time. I live in MEM but am based in DTW so I have to commute. And I’m a Flight Attendant so I have to work 100+ hrs a month to make sure I have enough for bills and lessons. Sometimes I can only fly once a week, others three times.

    I have all of these both digital and paper copy. It’s helping because I can write notes on the pages. But I’m still having trouble adjusting my comprehension. Landing pattern is a good example. I was able to nail down a standard left-turn pattern and finally figured out the different points...

    Cessna 150 and 152. Sometimes a 172 if the others aren’t available. Trying to keep it cost effective.

    I’m using King Schools. Every pilot I talk to says they’re the best. They’re cheesy as all get out, but they know their stuff. My problem is, I don’t. And every time I think I’m understanding, a new variable (wind direction, runway, standard vs. non-standard pattern) pops up. It’s maddening!!

    Hello all. I’m currently a Flight Attendant who just started flying lessons to become a pilot. I’m about 5 hours in and I’m frustrated ALL THE TIME! The online ground school just angers me because just as I think I’m “getting it”, I go to answer the quiz questions and get them all wrong. I don’t...
