Since I can not post anywhere else on the site, I will just respond back to my post.

I am joining the regional ranks. Had two interviews this week, CJOs from both, accepted one. Looking forward to getting a class date ASAP.

 

Student in Eastern PA, currently finishing school and hoping to start flight school in September. Ultimately I hope to become a pilot at a major American airline.

 

For some unknown reason the mods decided to jail my previous account, a little frustrating since I can't post on most of the forum but oh well.

I am a pt. 61 PPL soon to start transition training at a 141 school in the lower midwest, so far I have time in a Cessna 175, PA-28 140 and Cessna 172K.

Hopefully I will have a 1000 hour letter around this time next year, not sure I want to CFI in the Midwest so seriously looking for whatever 91/135 jobs can give me quality time and help me avoid shoveling snow in between crying into my ramen.

Ultimate goal is brown or purple, at this point leaning toward ACMI and not counting anything out as of yet, but curious as to the hypothetical "best" path to get there.

 

Hello,

I'm a former Marine KC-130J and KC-130T pilot. About 1700 TT, almost all KC-130J/T. The rest was Navy flight school (T-34C and T-44C). A little GA in there (C172). CPL/MEL/Instrument, standard stuff for a guy in that flew my airframe. I haven't flow anything in 5 years.

I'm STRONGLY considering quitting my government engineer job and start a career towards the Airlines. I know a lot of you will advise me not too, I welcome all opinions.

Some may ask why, well:

1. I'm about make substantial amount from a rental I'm selling, so that will help during time in the regionals.
2. COVID delayed hiring for two years, but now it's really back full force.
3. Wage growth in my govt job has been stagnant.
4. I find I don't like the personality of most engineer. Yes, I have a BS in AE.
5. It appears the flying bug never left me.

Hey Guys,
New to the forum! Currently a 135 Hawker Captain. Previous experience Landcare Aviation 172 Aerial Survey, 91 King Airs, Kalitta Charters Lear and Falcon 20's, Execute Hawker, PSA Airlines F/O and Captain. I have been a member for a long time now but never posted just read the info on here, but I have some questions now that I can't find answers to on the threads so it may be time to start my own!

 

Hello! Currently a ferry pilot moving stuff (mostly turbine Ag planes) internationally. 3200+ TT. Here for the networking.

 

hi everyone

 

I started out flying C152's and got my PPL back in 1999. Went into the Marine Corps right after and flew helicopters. I've been an helo guy most of my life but would like to shift gears and fly airplanes. About 5,000 hours helo and 300 hours airplanes.

 

Hi,
I'm hitting the submit button on all my apps this week. ATP with 1500 hrs. I'm wondering if there's a master thread somewhere for current hiring trends, i.e.

"Got an interview offer at xxxx airline on 3/1/22....

Total Hours: 1800
PIC: 500
Hours flown in the last year: 0"

Surely this data exists? Seems like it would be the #1 most useful post for those like me anxiously waiting..trying to figure out when to start the process to separate from the military and schedule terminal leave. Don't want to start separating too early (my hours currently only at the mins) or too late (giving up potential seniority)

Thanks!
