Good morning,
Just have a few questions ! I'd precise that I'm
not a native English speaker, so I just hope not to do too much mistakes and I apologize in advance for this. To introduce myself, I'm 18 and live in Europe.
So I'm just planning to build my aviation career in USA in the next 2 years (assuming that I'd obtain my Green Card in 2018 or 2019).
1) After getting basic qualifications and CFI, is it easy to find work as CFI ?
2) Is it better to work as a CFI until 1500h or just make hundreds of hours before going to a part 91/135 carrier (in order to increase IR and multi skills) and build up hours to 1500h there ?
What is the best to have a solid, competitive resume ?
3) Okay, so... Maybe a stupid question but let's go...
Is a
failed checkride a big mistake in a career ? Does it occur even if we are very hard-working and serious ?
4) I saw that regionals are hiring many and many people. So, the " classic " path is
to build 1500h, and then you have a lot of chance, if you do things well, to be considered by regionals, get an interview and a CJO ?
5) Just had a look about many threads here since 6 months. Majors are recruiting but I don't understand why the average joining a Legacy is about 7000 hours (according to " class drops " topics) and we can see in some topics that there are new hires who have 2000/3000/4000 hours without military. Is there a reason for that ?
6) Several companies (mainly legacies I assume) required a Bachelor.
Is it an hard requirement ? Is the best to get a Bachelor and them starting training or just starting training to lunch the career and then passing an Online degree (ERAU for example) ?
Thanks in advance, any answer is much appreciated, just want to learn and prepare !
