im the person who is running this campaign. Instead of judging someone without any knowledge of what they've been through or why they are doing something, I'm more than open to face any questions you guys have. And keep in mind any negative comments will reflect poorly on you...not me.

If money is an issue, why are you paying a huge premium to do this program that comes at a huge risk of not paying off?

Why not go through the military or the flight training/instructor/regional route?

1. I've approached the military at two points in my life once before i went to college, and once right after i graduated college. I chose to go to college but once i graduated, i approached them again with the open mind to enlist or go to OCS, which i believed i was qualified for. But, when i was 15, i got in trouble with the law and i was told i needed a waiver, that they werent giving out at the time.

2.I honestly didn't care how or where i train, or what route i took, all i want to do is fly. Before i heard about the program i was doing my flight training at my local FBO part 61 style paying for it out of my own pocket, and i got close to PPL, before i was not able to keep up with the cost. then i had a baby etc and its made it so much harder to get back to training part 61 style.

3. I tried looking into part 141 schools like ATP, but i have no one in my family who can financially back me up to get a loan for it.
So I heard about this program with Jetblue and it's one of those things that you just go for even if you don't know exactly how it's going to turn out and I got selected.

So right now I'm at the point of trying to be creative with figuring out how to pay for the program without having to RELY keyword rely, on the loan that is being offered for the program. But even through all this, in the end, going back to training 61 style or even maybe 141 style is not off the table.

Oh, don't judge me, you don't know what I've been through, anything you have to say that's negative only reflects poorly on you, whah, whah, whah.


Your Gofundme reflects poorly on you.


Your poor grammar and punctuation here also reflect poorly on you, and if JetBlue really did select you, it reflects poorly on them.



The picture of somebody walking towards an airplane on your gofundme page shows an airplane with the registration number N9522Q. What kind of airplane is it, how is it equipped, and where is it?

Also, what was this "trouble with the law" at age 15?


On your Gofundme page you "pledge", sorry, "PLEDGE" to create a $10K scholarship to award to a local high school or college student interested in pursuing their private pilot's license. Do you plan to use gofundme to fund that scholarship?

I have an inkling that this thread is going to go downhill very quickly 😂

To make the thread take off, place it on a .... threadmill.

Fixed it for you

I just don't understand why you would do this program. There are so many other ways that are cheaper and/or faster. Being forced to work at a flight for 2 years? Not appealing at all.

I just spent 20 minutes of my life writing a post and then deleting it. Because really it's not worth anymore time..

Good on you getting selected. But if you want to salvage any respect that your going to get here? Pay for the program with your own money. Sorry man gofundme? You're paying a company to work for them.... paying to WORK. I get you want to fly planes. you signed up for a highly controversial program that is extremely unliked by your peers, but then you're asking for it to be free to you?

He needs a gimmick. Maybe hitch his trailer to the "oppressed class" of the month?
