Current Trends
Hello,
I am a 26 year old female, have about 55 hours and am close to getting my Private Pilot License. After my Private, I plan on transferring to ATP (is this a good school?) for the rest of the licenses I will need to become an airline pilot. What worries me is investing all this money only to not find work when I graduate. With all the major airlines letting pilots go, isn't there a flood of more experienced pilots looking for work? I'm still paying off my college loans (have a BA from UCI) and will need to make a minimum monthly payment of $1,000 after adding my new school loans to my current balance. I am really excited to keep going with my dream of becoming a pilot, but worry about this being the right time to pursue that dream. Please provide me with any advice you can.
Thank you for your time.
