If you need someone on your podcast who has gone from private to multi engine commercial in 5 months while working a full time job and juggling normal life responsibilities as a husband and dad, I’d be happy to discuss my DIY path outside of a major program like ATP that cost me under $30,000 so far. At 35, I’m making a career change, and I don’t have time or money in abundance and am making every move count! I’m now studying for my CFI and should have a website up ready to take students for an accelerated course I’m developing in about a month and a half(April). Would love to chat.
even if they dont pull you onto the pod, then I'd love to hear how that worked for you. I'm 35, have a PPL, kids, career, the whole 9 yards like you and looking to make the career change.
I am a career switcher as well. I received a QJO from Delta through the propel program before completing my PPL here in Vero Beach Florida. It’s only going to cost me $60k to go from 0 to MEI. If you want someone on your podcast to talk about some other programs, I’d be willing to talk.
$100,000 is no small figure, but I bet Jamal will make easy work of it when it’s all said and done. Super inspirational seeing a guy with that kind of work ethic. I’ve been stuck in a funk during CFI training(as ironic as that sounds being that this podcast is about skipping CFI) but this conversation made me feel like I’m right at the brink of accelerating my way to the 1000hr R-ATP. Cheers guys!
I had the same experience with atp. Also at the same stage as Jamal! It’s been great to watch his success, I was trying to get ahead of him in training but it never happened haha!
I like this video because it really did give a clear explanation of how these ATP programs work. I’ve thought about it myself, but I didn’t know if the juice was worth the squeeze. I know I don’t want to go to the Airlines, but I would like to get through the ratings so that I can use, my talents to maybe become a Flight instructor. This was helpful, and definitely food for thought.
Hey guys I’m a huge fan of the podcast. Also, I’m a snowmobile guide at the main park city snowmobile outfit, Red Pine Adventures. Mike, is that the one you went to? If so, I’m super disappointed I didn’t get a chance to say hi.
Thank you guys for this podcast! It's super helpful as I plan my pilot career journey. My plan thus far is to do an accelerated PPL in Tucson followed by either Epic or ATP. Hoping to get going in spring or summer this year!
I talked with two FSDOs about logging AATD time as total time and they didn’t give me a clear answer, but it seemed as though it won’t count towards total time, only towards a non-atp rating.
Congrats Jamal, I was wondering how you were doing from the previous video, so I'm glad Sean and Mike asked you for an update. Looking forward to hearing how you're doing in the future! As for Mike and Sean's trip comparison, definitely Mike has the better trip! Mike, rub Sean's face in the snow, just rub it in haha!
I applaud Jamal for gettrdone, but $75k and you already had a PPL, and your at ~250hrs....man, seems like a screw-job. I dont really get the extra $18k (93) is just for room/board for 6months...but ok.

I’d love to hear your story !

Thank you for asking about us ladies, I'm on my way after I finish my PPL.
Jamal, Thanks for being honest.
I appreciate your transparency.

Our pleasure!

ATP sounds like a rip off
Thanks to Jamal for doing this interview.
Thank you for asking about women on this path. Yes, it's absolutely about hard work and dedication 🙌🏻💯
I had the same experience with atp. Also at the same stage as Jamal! It’s been great to watch his success, I was trying to get ahead of him in training but it never happened haha!
It's amazing to see Jamal's success and how far he's come!
Come on TH-cam Jamal is a great guy. Someone give him a better job, steal him away from this company. He’s ready for the right seat of a jet.
Totally agree! Jamal is a star, he deserves the best job out there.

I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad the video was able to shed some light on ATP programs for you. Best of luck on your aviation journey!
Hope you feel better Sean! Thanks for putting together another episode for us.
Thanks

You can do it!
The goat is back!
My school definitely doesn't count it as total time. It can be sim, dual and sim imc
What a great episode..! So proud of that young man
how much he will earn at the new company? just wonder how long will it take him to be debt free.

Congratulations Jamal!
The link doesn't seem to work for Jamal's TH-cam channel.
Fixed

It's all fun and games until someone gets snow in their face, right? Stay tuned for more adventures!
Very cool
Fantastic
I guess 9 volt batteries aren’t a requirement to become a pilot
ATP more expensive than Harvard

How did he pass his commercial with under 250 hours? Sus
