Hi, I'm a CRJ200/900 FO. Don't be jealous at all...

I work for a major American airline, I have more insider info then I care to know. I have been in this industry for way to long. So dont try to throw out BS, I will call you out!

 

I'm going through UPT for the Air Force - I am a prior enlisted maintenance guy, and hoping to fly something big and heavy. I love the military adventure and the great people I get to work with every day. Long term goal is lifer with the Air Force and after they kick me out for age, maybe try to squeeze in a few more years flying corporate before 65 - then recreational flying 'till I kick the bucket.

 

It is very expensive. The cost from PPL to CPL with all the ratings in between, the time building, the medical certificate, etc comes to be about $110,000. It is the only academy in the country that has access to the state-sponsored loan program (CSN) which covers roughly 50% of the cost and has ultra lax stipulations and interest. So the cost comes about to be between $55K-$60K after the government loan covers it.

I know that many who complete their CPL go to the US for time building as the rates for rental, insurance and fuel are lower.

The school is not sponsored but it operates at a Ryan Air and Wizz Air hub and many of the cadets get rated for B737 and land first officer positions at these airline as their first real gig before progressing to SAS, Luftansa, KLM, British Airways, etc.

I am considering flight school in the US as I have a US green card but health insurance is covered for me in Sweden and the cost of acquiring private health insurance in the US seems daunting. Any insights on this matter? How do cadets manage their health insurance especially with coverage on accidents?

 

Hi, I recently retired from the military and hopefully will soon become an FO at an airline.
