Hello,
My name is Robert Schumacher and I am 14 years old. I was just curious if it would be of any use when I go to an airline interview, that I know how to fly the Boeing 767-300ER near perfectly? I collect and read as many 767-300ER manuals and Checklists as I can. Plus I was wondering if American Airlines is planning to keep there B763 aircraft by the time I am old enough to fly for them? Is it possible that I could get hired flying the B763 for AA rite out of college if I meet all the minimum requirements.

Congratulations an being able to perfectly fly the mighty Boeing 767 at such a young age. It demonstrates tremendous skill, effort, and dedication. With such talent, I feel that you would be lowering yourself by flying for an airline. Perhaps you should aim for the stars...NASA Astronaut. I'm sure someone on this board could assist you in obtaining the proper checklists and study guides for the Space Shuttle. If you continue to work hard, and stay in school, then there is no limit to what you can accomplish. Good luck to you in your endeavors.

Hi Robert. In answer to your questions:
No.
I don't know.
No.
Good luck with your aspirations and I respect your enthusiasm.
Quite honestly probably not. I'm sure when they start hiring the S80 will be the junior bird. They'll teach how to fly when the time comes. Only thing it could possibly help you with is if your Sim Eval was in a 767.
Actually I don't think his dream is unlikely. The "Straight out of College" part...
But as for flying the ER.... Right now new hires at Delta are going straight to the ER. 10 years from now when American Pilots will start retiring in mass, maybe no one wants to be based in Chicago...
In the interest that you really are who you say you are.... There are lots of goals you need to meet before you reach the airline pilot stage. I would focus on getting good grades in High School right now. If you have the money, get your private pilot certificate and decide if you really like flying. Go to a good college and get a degree in something other than flying airplanes. Its a nice parachute to have when the bad times hit. Get your ratings at a local flight school while you have time and they are cheap, then instruct part time in college if you can. You will meet the regional hiring mins upon graduation and can start the "adventure" we all know as an airline career at that point. Don't skip college!
Your other option would be the military which still requires you to get good grades in high school and go to college. So either way, you are at the same point in your career.

That won't do any good. I went out and purchased a Shuttle type rating, which also included differences training between the older and newer ones. In the end it was a waste of money and I still ended up flight instructing and flying non-sched charters.
I shouldn't have listed to the guy who told me "if you have a Shuttle type rating you can go anywhere."

Did you get your Shuttle type rating at Higher Power? Did it get you an interview at NASA?
