How to become a chief pilot
#11
Gotcha, thanks for all the replies it sounds like its not that great of a position for the qualifications required. I know its early to be thinking about the majors let alone a chief pilot but I can't help myself I was looking at job postings every day when I was a private pilot... plus the MBA and instructor stuff would be stuff to get done now if I still seriously wanted to pursue it, but it seems its not all that. Thanks again.
I found being first an AF ops officer, staff work and finally a commander an awesome experience. I sent people to UPT that are now DL captains or wing commanders, very proud of that. Later, I was asked to be a chief pilot at a corporate flight department, by both the VP and my colleagues.
As the late Len Morgan said, being a good line pilot and being a good chief pilot have few overlaps, so chief pilots tend to be great or awful.
