1500 Hours, 0 recency in past 12 months
 

Any ideas if I can still get a class at a regional with 0 flight time since last March 2020? I was interviewing at airlines right when things started shutting down due to COVID. Went back into my old line of work for awhile for stability, didn't fly at all, but feel I'm ready to get on with a regional given how things are looking now.

Tough to get a CFI job right now for currency at 1500 hours when they know I'm a phone call away from leaving.

Thanks in advance

Take a look at getting involved with a local flying club. You'll get to fly for a pretty reasonable price and make friends. It's also a great networking opportunity that could pay off down the road. You can fly just enough to stay recent while still working your current non flying gig.

Solid idea. I'll have to spend a little cash but it'll at least be fun.

Have you applied? I think you would get a call from a regional within a day or two.

I have my class date coming up. I also hardly flew the past year because I just worked my regular career when the CFI work dried up.

I just did an 8 hour ferry flight for a buddy in a Mooney. I also paid for some 172 time in the local flight club for a BFR and IPC with CFII that I actually built some time with before he had his CSEL. Now I am current at least.

Any school should be able to set you up with a quick flight. Or do something cool like sky combat ace in Vegas, or rent a cirrus in Hawaii or something else for sight seeing with their CFI

You should apply now at the places you want to work. Class dates are already getting pushed out months in advance

yaas queen (yes was too short)

I have a feeling things are quickly moving back into “do you have a pulse” territory. Definitely get your apps in.

Lol ok apps going in. Worst they can say is go fly and reapply later

I would apply but definitely go ahead and go get current if you have to spend a little money. It doesn’t hurt to be current.

In the mean time find a Civil Air Patrol unit and keep flying.
