Army Rotary Wing Pilot 1 Year from Retirement
Hello All, Army AH-64D Pilot here that is one year out from retirement. Have been flying FW since April this year in pursuit of the 250 FW PIC hours in the right mix to head over into the airlines. Have finished Private Pilot SEL and am working on Instruments right now 90 hours flown with about 60 FW PIC. Plan on being up to Commercial Multi-Engine with 250 hours FW PIC in the right mix by July 2018. Look forward to learning about the good, bad, and indifferent of commercial aviation.

Second Career
I am winding down my first career of 20 years as a Police Officer. Several of the people I know are pilots and I am considering getting my certifications and accruing the hours I need over the next 5 years to hopefully get on at a regional.
My question: Does anyone know what the normal pass/fail rate for new hire First Officers in their initial training (ground school, sims etc)?
Thank you for any information on this topic.

Greetings all,
Military pilot getting ready to retire and pursue an airline job. Been reading through these threads for years, finally decided to join up and start asking some questions. I'll retire with about 2500TT in military fighters and trainers, almost all of it turbine PIC. No civilian time except my PPL and ATP training.
I'll be commuting from OKC no matter where I get hired, so I'll be looking for threads regarding which airlines, domiciles and aircraft are best for that. Also looking to maximize time at home while still flying a full schedule.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great, otherwise I'll just continue trolling and maybe start a thread of my own.
Thanks for all the great info over the years. I look forward to contributing.
Cheers!

Hello all,
Private pilot out of the Twin Cities working on my Commercial, Instrument, and CFI. Got bitten by the aviation bug as a kid at Kona International (back when it was still Keahole) where I spent many a summer just hanging out.
Built up quite a few fond memories there, including summer plane rides around the island, seeing the Concord up close and personal, getting a tour of an at the time "Experimental" 777 by a Boeing test pilot, and being invited onto a 747 flight deck by a JAL captain who proceeded to let a then 10-year old me punch in waypoints for the next flight on the CDU (under his close supervision of course!).
Some years later, after going through a few career changes (Tech support at a "fruit" computer company, EMT-B, etc) an encouraging wife bought me a few flight lessons for my birthday after she found out I had years before gotten 10 hours into my Private pilot only to drop out due to high costs at the time. Needless to say, I got hooked again, and thanks to her, got my certificate.
Lots of dividends to pay between now and wide body captain at a major, but still looking forward to the road ahead!
