Default Hello!

Hello everyone! My name is Mason. I am currently a police officer in larger city in Iowa.....well, "large city" for Iowa anyway. If you're from a metropolis area you may not consider it large at all haha. Anyway, I am ready for a career change and have been working on my PPL at the local FBO. I want to advance in this new path and am liking the idea of flying corporate as opposed to the airlines but that could change. There is so much that I don't know but I'm looking forward to learning.

Hope to get on with a regional out of IAH and finish my career there. Been there done that so no desire for the majors. Want to be at a smaller outfit where I can contribute.
When you say contribute do you mean training the newer guys or something else? Curious as to what your experience was like between Regionals and the Majors.

Default Nice to meet you

My name is Daniel, I am an entrepreneur running my own business in Atlanta GA, and I am seeking a career change and want to start flying with my final goal of being an airline pilot.
I am looking forward to connecting and learning as much as possible about this world before pulling the trigger and selling my company.
thank you for having me

Default Hello

Hello!

I’m in the tedious stages of picking a flight school to attend, starting in September. I’ve been interested in becoming a pilot for a long time, and am happy to say it’s gonna finally happen this year! At least getting started haha.

I’ve currently narrowed down my choices between ATP (Ogden, UT) and SWA’s Destination 225 Cadet program. Looking forward to getting more info from other members to help me decide which will better fit me and my current position.

Excited to nerd out here about all things flying!

Greetings All,

I’m seriously considering applying with regionals in the very near future. PPL in 2008, 12 years in law enforcement and safety management, got back into flying in 2019, CFI in 2020, 1600 TT with 300 ME and 200 turbine.

Hello. My name is Tom. I have been on active duty (Air Force) for 15 years. Commissioned in 2013, UPT in 2014. I am two years from the end of my current commitment and am considering leaving for family reasons. Right now, I am just looking to find some more information and understand my options. I had never seriously considered the airlines as an option before, but life changes, and I am trying to seek some more guidance going forward. I look forward to interacting with everyone on here.
