1st time viewer. New subscriber. 56yrs old. Looking to become a pilot as a 2nd career. Single. Empty nester. [1] Can you recommend a flight school in the Cdn prairies? [2] What's the fastest you've heard of in terms of a Cdn attaining a US-equivalent CFI (certified flight instructor) license? [3] Can a Cdn get a US CFI license in the US? Thank you for any feedback. Continued success.
Thank you for the support! I do have several videos that cover your questions, so have a look through my channel. Getting US certification isn’t hard, is getting the work visa that’s quite impossible for pilots.
It was a few years ago you made a video about flight colleges in Canada. I recently graduated from the Moncton Flight College ATPL program, and currently in the process of completing my instructor rating. Watching videos like this is refreshing optimism for all us low time pilots! Thank you for all of the informational videos!
Hey that’s a huge accomplishment, congrats 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. Enjoy instructing, and make sure you build enough night PIC time so you can get your ATPL before moving on to 703.
Hey man, how was the MFC program? Currently entering my grade 12 year of high school and that is my #1 pick for post secondary schools. What was the total cost ish? Did you do just the MFC program or a combined university program with Mt. Allison?
Let's not bother mentioning that someone has to pay for these salaries. As of August 2024 "A recent job ad at Air Canada says that a captain of a narrow-body (single aisle) aircraft can make $215,000 to $290,000 a year, while a wide-body captain can earn $315,000 to $350,000 pus overtime and expenses." .......and as of August 2024, Air Canada pilot union is about to go on strike. .
What’s your point? Are you diminishing the responsibilities of a pilots skill and experience and someone who literally has your lives in their hands? Maybe watch my channel and get education on the career. It’s not an easy one.
The 1000h and 1500h rules must go. Integrated ATPL programs all around the world lead to the airlines at 200~250h right after flight school. I achieved my fATPL in Canada, but unfortunately, will take it somewhere else after conversion. And amen to that: NO MORE RAMP JOBS FOR PILOTS IN CANADA.
Yes Canada is very slow to evolve, and many are leaving for very lucrative opportunities abroad. It will be very interesting to see how Canada adapts, but for now, we’re all benefiting with fast pay increases and upgrade opportunities. Where are you moving to?
It’s very real indeed! And will be that way for another 5-8 years. Checkout my recent video on how to become a captain, as the movement is very rapid right now
I’m 17 years old wanting to become a pilot. Do you think it is necessary to go to college first then take flight school? And what are the steps that I can take to start early or be on the path onto becoming a pilot as soon as possible. Appreciate it!
I would become a pilot asap and get into the industry! You can always get post secondary later as it’s not a requirement in Canada. Watch through my channel to answer all the questions you have, as I’ve covered almost all of them on my channel 🙂
It’s industry knowledge from being in Canadian aviation for 20yrs, in addition to public information on aircraft orders and the pay scales are from current negotiated contracts. Air Canada has also thousands of retirements coming up, so the number of pilots required I mentioned are pretty conservative. If you look at Canadian pilot job postings, which im current working on a video on, you will see the sheer demand for pilots in Canada. What stage of your pilot career are you in?
@@AviatorInspirations HI, Thanks so much for the clarification. I'm a hobbyist for many years (PPL, night rating, 200ish hours) and am now starting ME/IFR/CPL training . Planning/Hoping fora career change to aviation once complete. Currently 42 years old, working in hi tech. Crossing my fingers for continued pilot demand while I complete training. I appreciate all the advice and guidance.
Ok awesome, and you have a great side career that can help you generate extra money when needed. I expect the pilot shortage to last until 2030 for sure, if no external factors come into play like another pandemic or global war etc.
I’m planning on going to MRU to become a pilot. Only thing is, it’s an expensive endeavour. (You personally) How were you able to pay off loans while training? What jobs did you do? Also, what did you do to rack up flight hours? Thanks!
I have a few videos that will answer those questions. Finding your first job videos (old and new), how I became a captain, and captain upgrade process. There are many paths in aviation, as long as you always moving forward, you will succeed
do you think graduating with 250h with multi ifr and working as a pipeline patrol pilot + instructing till I reach 1000h asap write the ITRA right away then apply for flair, lynx or westjet for a jet position(skipping regionals) is a good move ?
I would play it this way: do the pipeline/instruct until 750-1000hrs (1.5hrs), then get an FO job on a king air doing medevac or at a 703/704 on a beech 1900 (1year). Write your ATPL and Upgrade to captain at 1500hrs (build 500-1000 turbine PIC). At 2000hrs go to Air Canada. If you get to AC under 30yrs old, you are set for life and will be a captain by 35-40.
about to start my CPL at 41yrs old .. is there hope for a guy like me ? great video by the way .. there are a lot of conflicting video's out there on YT !
100k a year is a joke, I make more than that in BC with no schooling other than high school, if you need to be educated and take on the responsibilities a pilot do they should be making 50% more than they do
Do you have to be proficient in math or physics to complete flight training? I am not very good at either of those two. Can I become a commercial pilot regardless of that? 😅
Hi @aviator inspirations, Thank you so much for your videos over the years. You have no idea how much you've helped me, and I'm sure many others, in the challenging path of flight training. I recently finished my multi IFR last December, and that wouldn't have been possible without your help and the assistance of many others. So, thank you! Apologies for the long text, but I also have a question. I'm currently on the path to finding my first pilot job, which seems harder than my flight training 😭. However, I received a potential position as a flight officer for a King Air B200, but it requires me to sign a $9000 bond that I will have to pay over the span of 2 years. In short, what's your opinion on training bonds in Canada, especially for entry-level jobs (I'm currently at 220 TT, multi IFR, avionic technician)? Thank you so much again for your help over the years, and sorry for the small book I wrote. Take care ☺
Thank you for the kind words, and really happy my content has helped your career! Training bonds are small companies in Canada are normal, but typically you DONT pay them back if you fulfill the requirements and stay the 2years. You only pay it back if you leave before the 2years is up. So double check, and if they DO make you pay it back, I would be cautious taking the job, and no pilot should be paying for their own job. It’s a great question, so maybe I’ll make a video on it sometime this year 👌🏻
@@AviatorInspirations Thanks for the question. Im not looking for anything in particular really I'm just trying to crack in the industry so ill able to hit the 750 1000TT milestones. As for my last comment on the King Air it was in the North. Wasnt the best at networking at my flight school since I went the modular way and now im paying the price 🥲
I didn’t network either, and that shouldn’t stop you either, so keep sending those resumes and following up every 3 months 💪🏻. But yes be careful, don’t get suckered with a lengthy training bond. 2years is standard, and you never pay it back unless you leave.
Hey captain! I have two questions. First of all, do we need an undergrad degree to get a job here in Canada at the major or regional airlines or can we just go to flight schools directly? Second of all, how hard getting a job in the Usa if you got your license here in Canada? (Assuming you have enough experience to get a job at a regional airline as a first officer))
Great questions! 1: no post secondary degree required for any airline in Canada. We are in a very deep pilot shortage, just like the US. 2: it is EXTREMELY hard to get a US work visa for Canadian pilots, many are trying and getting rejected. So the question is not about the pilots license, but whether you can realistically work in the US.
@@AviatorInspirations Ahh, I see. It is kinda silly and unnecessary to be that hard to get a job in the states since our countries are literally similar. I am a freshman in uni studying pol sci hoping to become a lawyer but being a pilot was my dream since the age of 7 or so. I guess I will book a introductory flight as soon as possible and draw a new route for myself accordingly. Thank you so so so much for replying my questions. I will do deeper research and probably bug you again :) Stay safe captain, enjoy your time!
I would recommend you keep both cards in your pocket. You can do both, and have the stability of law during recessions and lay offs. The pilot career is very volatile. Alternatively you can practice law, and then fly for fun, as many doctors and dentists do.
@@AviatorInspirations Apparently law is not for me, and I do not want to waste any more time so I will save up money this year and start my training in the next summer. I was curious if you know any pilot who could get a work permit to work in the states. It is very depressing to know that the pilots in USA makes so much more for the same job : (
Hey yaro, I commented on one of your videos a little over half a year ago regarding my category 1 medical. Well fast forward to now, I have my category 1 medical. Im in a intergraded ATPL program in Montreal since august. I recently passed my PPL written, now I am about 2 months away from doing my flight test all while studying for CPL ground school. Life is good haha. Was just wondering, I KNOW I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. What do you think about applying to jazz as an FO? My plan is when im done my program, obtaining my instructor rating, grind it out for a year or so then apply to Jazz. According to their site they are only demanding 500 tt hours. Can you please tell me what you think the pros and cons of this plan could be? THANK YOU.
Huge congrats, that’s an amazing accomplishment 💪🏻💪🏻 Watch my recent few videos about upgrading to captain, as well as pilot job websites. Going to jazz with low time isn’t a great idea, as upgrading will take a long time. The pay at jazz isn’t great, and they are not flowing many pilots to Air Canada, so most people are avoiding it. Finish your instructor rating and then see what the economy is doing.
I couldn't agree more, im gonna send this video to anyone thats climbing the ladder and looking for advise, very well said. Ive seen "Ramp to flight" Pilots, and Id say its not worth it at all. Currently capt on a king air, the amount of multi PIC is fast especially in the 703 world, and sometimes pays more too. same reason as alot of pilots leaving to the regionals at 700-1000.
The first job is always hard, even as a flight instructor. There are pros and cons to both. Non-flight instructor, you are competing with hundreds of pilots looking for the same thing, but if you find a hybrid job then you will get a salary + flight time but it will be slower building the hours. Flight instructor, less competition but extra money for the rating, plus you only get paid when you fly, but if you find a smaller school and teach lots, you can build hours quickly. Ultimately just start sending resumes, and if you have no success, follow the flight instructor route. Also check out my latest video on pilot job websites that can help.
I am currently in high school and looking at going to MRU in Alberta for the diploma of aviation. However i have heard that if you do not have your PPL before beginning it may take longer to graduate. Is this true?
Look at the entry requirements of the program, as many already want you to have a PPL. If the program includes the PPL, then yes it will obviously take longer
Hi Yaro, I currently attend a university degree & flight training program with partnership with Jazz. If I get selected for the cadet program, it would allow me to enter the right seat of a CRJ/Dash 8 with 250 hours. Coming out of university, I would not meet the criteria for an ATPL (250 PIC, 100 PIC XC, 25 PIC XC Night .etc). Would I have to simultaneously take a job as a flight instructor to build this time? Or will the PICUS program in place suffice?
This has been an issue for jazz cadet program pilots since the inception of the program. You are correct, that it will be very difficult to meet the ATPL criteria, even with PICUS, and in the past pilots where forced to rent a 172 and fly circles at night just to get the last of the hours. Getting into the right seat at 250hrs isn’t valuable anymore, now that we’re in a pilot shortage. In the past it was, when you needed 3000hrs+ to get to jazz, now you can get into flair at 1500hrs. So I would finish the program, and then find a 703 job asap. Check out my recent video on how to become a captain, as the movement is very rapid right now, and you don’t want to be stuck sitting at jazz in the right seat
So Emirates needs an ICAO ATPL, and they are competitive to get into. I dont know if they require a TC verification letter, since your aviation booklet should be proof enough of your license.
Pilot jobs are about hours, not years, so all depends how much you can fly per year as a flight instructor. If you fly 500hrs per year, that’s 3years to get to 1500hrs, and get your ATPL. However you can get a king air FO job at 500hrs. Check out my latest 2 video’s on how to become a captain and captain upgrade process.
Yes it does! It’ll vary based on city and remoteness of the school. If you move to a smaller town or out of province you might find schools paying more than this to attract flight instructors. Alternatively if you’re at a super busy school with many flight instructors in the big city, pay might be around $25-$30/hr.
Thank you for your valuable video Could you please share your knowledge about job opportunities regarding to new comer’s job regulations. Next year I will immigrate to Canada with open work permit but I hear that Airlines just hire with PR. I have 2000 hours on B737 CL with ATPL and my license is B737 300-900
It’s a great question, and yes I can look into that topic! Flair airlines does a lot of hiring of international pilots, so you can email their recruiters and will they answer all your questions about the requirements to work for them.
omg, i think this is a bad salary in comparison with job of truck driver for example, one pilot have to do one investiment of 90.000 dollars, to have a payment of basicle 4.000 Dollars per month?, this salary is bad, how much time u have to do for take a 1.500 hours flighting?, so much time, 2 years at the minimons, one truck driver have this salary with very lower investiment, just the drive license, i expected one minimon of 7.000 dollars per month without taxes, in instructor flighting job, but this is not the reality, that's sad, because my dreams is be a pilot, but, i think i will keep like truck driver, i have 27 years old, i want to pay my pilot licenses, but... its a high investiment for a low salary how begginer, and after take 1.500 hours flighting, i will receive a salary medium of a truck driver, I would like to have a better idea, to make the decision to invest in a pilot career, or not
There are 100 other jobs that pay better than being a pilot, but we don’t just do it for the money. We have passion for aviation, and the money is important, but not why we became pilots. Each person has to decide WHY they are becoming a pilot, and whether the sacrifices are worth it. But we are in a pilot shortage, so you can make good money much quicker than before.
Why are you coming on my channel and bitching about pilot pay? Air Canada pilots and all airline professionals in Canada deserve to be compensated appropriately for the responsibility of having people’s lives in our hands. You clearly have zero understanding about the industry, and your ignorance is showing.

Pilots finally have the upper hand, so let’s keep the industry moving in a positive direction and not sacrifice working for free just to build time
@@AviatorInspirations I agree, seems like the industry realise its falling behind and it is catching up now.
It’s still very far behind, but at least it’s no longer sleeping and moving in an upward trajectory 📈
Captain Yaro, is it possible to find a job with only 250H or I should consider becoming a flight instructor to build more hours?
The first job is always hard, even as a flight instructor. There are pros and cons to both. Non-flight instructor, you are competing with hundreds of pilots looking for the same thing, but if you find a hybrid job then you will get a salary + flight time but it will be slower building the hours. Flight instructor, less competition but extra money for the rating, plus you only get paid when you fly, but if you find a smaller school and teach lots, you can build hours quickly.
Ultimately just start sending resumes, and if you have no success, follow the flight instructor route.
Also check out my latest video on pilot job websites that can help.
@AviatorInspirations thank you so much I appreciate your advice a lot

Coming out of university, I would not meet the criteria for an ATPL (250 PIC, 100 PIC XC, 25 PIC XC Night .etc). Would I have to simultaneously take a job as a flight instructor to build this time? Or will the PICUS program in place suffice?
This has been an issue for jazz cadet program pilots since the inception of the program. You are correct, that it will be very difficult to meet the ATPL criteria, even with PICUS, and in the past pilots where forced to rent a 172 and fly circles at night just to get the last of the hours. Getting into the right seat at 250hrs isn’t valuable anymore, now that we’re in a pilot shortage. In the past it was, when you needed 3000hrs+ to get to jazz, now you can get into flair at 1500hrs. So I would finish the program, and then find a 703 job asap. Check out my recent video on how to become a captain, as the movement is very rapid right now, and you don’t want to be stuck sitting at jazz in the right seat
Please can you suggest any ATO in Ontario?
I’m not personally familiar with any to recommend, but watch my video on how to pick a flight school
Hi I am 155 cm tall (height)can I become a pilot and work at big airline companies like Emirates etc and fly boeing 777 and have my ATPL Liscence ?
Yes you can. Some pilots use a pillow to elevate your height if the seat doesn’t go high enough.
if you hold TC ATPL to find a job out of Canada, is it easy to get the verification letter from TC?
Which country are you looking for a job with a Canadian license? I do have a video explaining different types of licenses
@@AviatorInspirations Emirates Airlines in UAE
So Emirates needs an ICAO ATPL, and they are competitive to get into. I dont know if they require a TC verification letter, since your aviation booklet should be proof enough of your license.
you voice also changed!
what do you expect first officer pay to be in about 4 years time?
As I mentioned in the video, salaries will keep going up, and I expect $80k+ for FO year 1, hopefully close to 6 figures.
How many years of instructor experience do I need to apply for regional?
Pilot jobs are about hours, not years, so all depends how much you can fly per year as a flight instructor. If you fly 500hrs per year, that’s 3years to get to 1500hrs, and get your ATPL. However you can get a king air FO job at 500hrs. Check out my latest 2 video’s on how to become a captain and captain upgrade process.
@@AviatorInspirations Thanks! And normally how many hours a year can a flight instructor teach these days?
Depends on several factors. I have 2 videos: how to become a flight instructor & life of a flight instructor. I think you’ll find them helpful
Class 4 instructors are paid 40 dollars an hour! That’s a great number to start with. Does this number vary from school to school ?
Yes it does! It’ll vary based on city and remoteness of the school. If you move to a smaller town or out of province you might find schools paying more than this to attract flight instructors. Alternatively if you’re at a super busy school with many flight instructors in the big city, pay might be around $25-$30/hr.
Can a height 5'2(158cm) girl be a pilot?
Yes 👍🏻
100 000 really isn't a great salary considering what you're doing. In Canada it wouldn't be worth it.
No we’re definitely under paid compared to a global scale
Thank you for your valuable video
Could you please share your knowledge about job opportunities regarding to new comer’s job regulations. Next year I will immigrate to Canada with open work permit but I hear that Airlines just hire with PR.
I have 2000 hours on B737 CL with ATPL and my license is B737 300-900
It’s a great question, and yes I can look into that topic! Flair airlines does a lot of hiring of international pilots, so you can email their recruiters and will they answer all your questions about the requirements to work for them.
omg, i think this is a bad salary in comparison with job of truck driver for example, one pilot have to do one investiment of 90.000 dollars, to have a payment of basicle 4.000 Dollars per month?, this salary is bad, how much time u have to do for take a 1.500 hours flighting?, so much time, 2 years at the minimons, one truck driver have this salary with very lower investiment, just the drive license, i expected one minimon of 7.000 dollars per month without taxes, in instructor flighting job, but this is not the reality, that's sad, because my dreams is be a pilot, but, i think i will keep like truck driver, i have 27 years old, i want to pay my pilot licenses, but... its a high investiment for a low salary how begginer, and after take 1.500 hours flighting, i will receive a salary medium of a truck driver, I would like to have a better idea, to make the decision to invest in a pilot career, or not
There are 100 other jobs that pay better than being a pilot, but we don’t just do it for the money. We have passion for aviation, and the money is important, but not why we became pilots. Each person has to decide WHY they are becoming a pilot, and whether the sacrifices are worth it. But we are in a pilot shortage, so you can make good money much quicker than before.
@@AviatorInspirations but in any country the job of pilot is avalued, in canada not so much
Yes that’s also true
First
Epic 💪🏻
Air Canada offers pilots a 30% pay hike, great so as customers get ready to get bent over for the same crappy service 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why are you coming on my channel and bitching about pilot pay? Air Canada pilots and all airline professionals in Canada deserve to be compensated appropriately for the responsibility of having people’s lives in our hands. You clearly have zero understanding about the industry, and your ignorance is showing.
