There is no advantage I’m doing your Private Part 141, there is in doing your Instrument Part 141 as it deletes the 50 hr XC requirements.
Its very hard to see the trees through the forest if you’re not familiar with the (training) industry.
Ill repeat, do not DO NOT DO NOT give up your day job for full time training.
You have the luxury of a job that gives you blocks of time off.
Use it.
Also....do not underestimate the value of a job in aviation to keep your motivation going.
Every time you step on board the airplane and you take a right turn you tell yourself........one day it will be left one day it will be left one day it will be a left turn.
Trust me on this, not all flight training is fun and you’ll have bad days and you’ll have terrible days where you’ve spend a lot of money and doubt sets it.
Keep your eyes on the trophy.
I wont be quitting my flight attendant job until I am done with my private. At the end of my private I'll definelty will need to know if this is what I want to do. If I'll have even the smallest of doubt I wont persue the rest of the training and I'll just go back to my FA job. Yes I would have lost the money I spent for my ppl but at least I wont have any regrets. The issue here is that I'm 33 and I'm not super young anymore and I cant do my training little by little. It would take way too long. The moment to get in is now and I can't be in trainig for years and years for one day to become a pilot. Trust me if I was 23 instead of 33 that's what I would have done but that's not the case. Once I'm done with my ppl either I continue training FULL TIME, either at ATP or stay at my part 141 school OR go just go back to my job.
