Hi Michael, my name is Buck. I just had my Skywest interview and I rocked it of course thanks for all the tips. I just love your videos. Totally expecting a job. Offer here any day.. the interview was very easy and lots of fun. I also think the interview prep session was wonderful and a must do. I look forward to flying with you in the air. See you soon.
Just passed IR, and now a the two weeks mark of taking a break. Can’t wait to start it up this week to start commercial! Thanks so much for making this video
Michael. Glad to see that you are doing well my friend. Just a small suggestion. I saw that you showed a quick google search for an AME. My suggestion is placing the links to these websites in the description. For those that come across this comment, Michael is a great CFI/I with a wealth of knowledge and dedication. I had the honor of flying with him as I was going through my ratings.
I've been doing ATP since mid March, and my official start date is 6/17. So far I've passed my PAR/CAX/FOI and in process for FIA. 118k for ATP, that's factoring in all the equipment and test costs. Its been a ride for sure.
Don’t give up!! I finished my cfi during covid and it felt like I was never going to get a job. But I promise if you keep going and don’t give up, you will eventually get a job. Go to flight schools in person and give your resume. Hope this helps!
Thanks mate, great video. I’m an Australian student, and just commenced my flight training over here in San Diego. At 53, I was hoping to get my name down for the Skywest program, but unfortunately for me, they require a social security number, which I can’t get on my training visa….otherwise I’d get my name on quick smart. Really enjoying the flight training, and really enjoy your videos. Thanks again.
Wow they require a Socialist Security Number to hire at airline. My friend from Africa got one for free issued to him when he illegally crossed US border. You just have to claim you are refugee and get the red carpet to USA handed to you than showing up using tourist visa
Sometimes getting licensed outside of America would take even more time. I know converting licenses to other country can take up to a few years. And you can be a 747 pilot with 1500 hours
This is the only video I’ve seen that made things clear about becoming an airline pilot, Is working as a flight instructor a stable job, or would you need to have another part-time jobs?
@@MichaelHsu95 By stable, I mean will there always be work available and is it financially stable enough to be a full-time job until you get the necessary flight hours? I’m already subscribed, thanks!
where do u live.. yur homebase ? what ac u fly ? Yur FO now ? how's pay end up being ? What routes u fky mostly.. out west ? Goodluck.. good vids good info
Hi, I I have a question. I am a student pilot with EASA ATPL licenses from Greece.. the question is if I want to get a flight instructor course or Full type rating with base training.. Which is the best way to be in the cockpit in the nearest future with airline?
Hi Michael what’s your thoughts of buying a plane and just building time and then selling it after. It seems faster to get done vs dealing with the whims of students as a CFI.
Hey Micheal I want to become an airline pilot with the goal of getting there sooner than later… my question is it worth going to a flight college and getting a bachelors degree or should I focus on just going to flight school instead, or flight school with online college degree?? Pretty much is it worth getting a degree?
If you get a degree at a flight college you only need 1000 hours to get into the airlines but that degree might take up to 3 years where you can get 1500 hours in 3 years. There’s many ways to get to your destination. Getting a degree is always helpful, but it’s not necessary to become an airline pilot
Hi michel i hope you doing well i would like to ask if it's possible to start studying to bocome an airline pilot at age of 37 do i have enough time to become a first officer for heavy aircraft like A320 or boeing737 or it's a little bit hard to get enough hours and experience to get there thank u
Dude 🙂 my gcse grades did not went well I almost got All c’s and d’s so am I eligible for being a pilot , does gcse matters for being a pilot ? Although I am really working hard to do well in my A and As level and will continue to do so….
@@DuragVince- it definitely depends on the person, some people learn faster, other may learn slow. And it’s no only how many times you fly, but also how much you study on your own. I would say under 1.5 years is doable
@@MichaelHsu95 last question I promise :) How can you tell if you’re not cut out for this career? What are some signs and queues you were able to pinpoint about students who weren’t going to make it?
@@DuragVince- the students that aren’t willing to put the work in are not suitable for this career. It’s a long and difficult journey, so you got to make sure you are studying and preparing and not giving up
Hi Michael, its a great video I ever watched about pilot career. I have a quick question, I am age of 51, and from my childhood great enthlasis of flying but could not find opportunity. If I do CPL, CFI, and adopt your two school strategy, do you think in age of 54, I could become airline pilot? then what will be the retirement age?
@@amjadhassan3163 yes you could definitely be an airline pilot in 3 years but you would have to be focused and do it full time. Retirement age as an airline is 65 years old

That is bulshit, Australian cannot claim asylum, what the nonsense you said about your African friend!
Apply for ITN. Some will accept that
This guys need to learn full ROM and tempo these sets are crazy
Can you talk about new pilot salaries in regional airline? And furlough trend?
Great info man. Love the energy.

Fastest way to become an airline pilot: live outside of North America. You can be a 747 pilot with only 250 hours instead of 25,000 😆
Sometimes getting licensed outside of America would take even more time. I know converting licenses to other country can take up to a few years. And you can be a 747 pilot with 1500 hours
@@MichaelHsu95 Which company hires at 1500 hours? I might join
@@alext7202 I think atlas would hire, they are not an airline but they fly cargo. All the regional airlines hire at 1500 hours
@@MichaelHsu95 They got 747s in regionals?

You need a better microphone, and it would be good to have some soundabsorbent.

Is the pathway program the same as an airline cadet’s program? I mean in terms of intensity, curriculum, and even privileges?
No, the pathway program doesn’t have any training at all. It just a way to get a seniority number
@@MichaelHsu95 really? I thought that it’s actually a program that schools normally charge for!

What is gcse?! You don’t need good grades to become a good pilot. You just need to work hard
@@MichaelHsu95 thanks dude
Do you feel like you have to remember everything you’ve studied and learned over the years while you’re in flight school or in the airlines?
No, you just have to remember what you need to complete that flight successfully. Trust the process, all your instructor will set you up for success!
@@MichaelHsu95 how long do you think it’ll take to get through all the ratings if one does part 61 and flies 3-4 times a week?
@@DuragVince- it definitely depends on the person, some people learn faster, other may learn slow. And it’s no only how many times you fly, but also how much you study on your own. I would say under 1.5 years is doable

After retirement I think many fly corporate as well
So to start this. You can basically start straight out of highschool?
@@user-fk3vd1yq9k yes you can!
If I want to get a degree in a country, can I be hired in another country after immigrating or do I have to pass another degree?
@@kimiakhn you don’t need a degree to be a pilot in America
How do I get in Delta ?
I’ll let you know when I get in ;)
How do two instructors both log time (splitting cost)? I thought that only worked with safety pilot.
One can be instructing, or safety pilot works as well
