Hello
I am 21, born in raised in Fresno CA, living in Las Vegas NV. I am active duty Air Force and am currently aspiring my Airline Pilots License and hopefully fly for a major corporation in the future and base out of california or Japan. I have about 4 years left in my contract, and I'm looking in to this now so I can gain as much knowledge and best prepare myself for the future. I am pursuing my degree in civil engineering as my backup plan, although I was told not to do that because both career fields require a lot of dedication and time, balancing them can be an issue. Feel free to input your opinion, thats what I am here for.

Hi all, I've just recently obtained my Commercial Multi ticket and am halfway through CFI before knocking out CFII. Looking at time building jobs in the northeast (Delaware area). Oh and while COVID was just starting to hit (and training slowed), I knocked out all of my writtens and became an AGI/IGI. The outlook is getting better but I'm always looking for good opportunities to differentiate myself even just a little bit.

Hi my name is Eduardo. I am new to the site. I am just starting out. I have logged 20.9 hours. I train in a Cessna 172S. My goals as I work towards my vfr, ifr, commercial and cfi ratings are to fly all types of airplanes including low wing, multi and seaplane. I'm also looking to some experience in aerobatics. And after I get my commercial and cfi rating I hope to instruct and follow the best path that will get me the hours I need to fly for the airlines. Suggestions for after commercial and cfi are greatly appreciated. I would love to hear from other Pilots and the types of jobs that they have.

Introduction
Hello Everyone,
I started out in aviation as a flight instructor many years ago. Life throws you curve balls and I was in and out of instructing the last few decades. During my CFI refresher I would ask the airline pilots if now was a good time to fly. They would aleays respond “Not right now”. I stopped asking the question over the years, then they called me and asked if I was flying, I said no, and they said to check it out the shortage is real this time. That was two years ago. I decided to instruct for an academy and became a check instructor and MEI for them. Just went over 1500 hours and being military I decided during the slow down in flying from COVID, that I would use my GI Bill and get my ATP certificate. I did in an Airbus 320. Just accepted a CJO with SkyWest flying the CRJ and a Sep. class date.
