Got my introduction to aviation back in 2008 as a kid. Eventually got my A&P and started in SFO on the line (10/2016) and after a few years made a transfer bid to TK. I applied to the Academy in June of last year and now it looks like I'm aiming to start with their May class.
I'm just looking for networking, general advice, etc. and want to hear more from current line pilots if I can. I know the basics: read the books, study the ACS for each ride, most of all don't blow the opportunity. I'm walking out of the best job I've ever had to chase this dream, and at age 31 I've only got so many more of these drastic career changes left in me. Gotta make it count.
Happy to share my file number in private and connect if you're of the social sort. Just putting this out as a feeler, I understand if it doesn't quite fit the forum theme and gets 86'd.
Awesome! As an old mechanic myself, it’s nice being the guy who breaks stuff and complains instead of the guy who fixes it. Welcome to the other side of the logbook.
