Currently fly helicopters with 3,300TT, 3,2300PIC, 1,500turbine, 200night.

Considering a transition to the airlines due to lack of salary potential, quality of life and longevity in career, retirement, medical benefits and potential career advancement.

I am 32 and willing to grind it out. If I could get to majors by 40 it would be worth it. Looking at retirement projections and market growth I think this is attainable. Even if only to be FO with a legacy would be worth it.

I'd love to hear everyone's input.

Four year degree? If not apply to AA wholly owned (WO) regionals. Guaranteed flow. Maybe 7-13 years?

Typical estimate to be in the 'qualified' range from zero hours takes 8-10 years (5000-7500 TT fixed wing).

Even if it takes you 13 yrs you should have a decade, or more, at most of the majors.

Don’t have a 4 year but have credits towards it so I’m willing to get it. However the flow through sounds appealing. Do you recommend one. I’ve heard of Envoy.

Who do you work for and how have you gotten there?
