Do you have a PPL? and also did you make a good resume because that has affect on the application.

    I think of mentors as books: If you are not proactive and go to them, they are not going to come to you. You said that you were not sure if your mentor was supposed to reach out to you, or the other way around. Who has the questions and who has the experience, and may have the answers?

    Hey, Michael I just heard back from AA Cadet Academy Team and I made it past the first round of the selection process. They have scheduled a virtual interview with me this upcoming week and I was wondering if you had any advice on how to prepare for this interview. I'd love to hear your input since you have already been through the process. Thanks!

    Been enjoying your videos Michael, very insightful and always some good takeaways.
    Curious if you’re open to some direct messaging over email? Your remarks about Coast Flight Academy resonated for sure. I’m enrolled @ San Diego and will be starting in a couple of months (all things considered). My questions have to do with specificity in the deliverables (as advertised by the Academy) relative to both Coast and the AA Cadet program, as well as overall exposure to recruiters/airlines/tee’d up interviews, and what you experienced up against the VALUE.
    Promise I won’t waste your time, but your experiential insights would be appreciated as it seems you’ve gone through the exact same path that I have planned very soon.
    Are you open to a direct line of communication?

    This seems like a route for someone to take who wants to be a pilot a little later in life like late 20’s/early 30’s to make up for lost time.
    Two big questions:
    1. Did you apply/have any scholarships during the process to help reduce overall cost/have money to spend while in the program?
    2. I know that airlines won’t allow visible tattoos but employ people with them provided they are covered up at all times while flying/commuting to fly. Are you able to have visible tattoos (like forearms and legs) in the program/have to cover them up?
