What you should know before becoming an airline Pilot!

In this video, I'll be sharing valuable insights about the life of a pilot.
I'll give you a glimpse into this rewarding profession. Being a pilot can be physically and mentally exhausting, but maintaining a positive attitude is crucial. It's also essential to be passionate about aviation, as becoming a pilot involves a significant financial investment. Flight tests and examinations are common, so getting comfortable with evaluation is necessary. Flexibility is vital, as pilots often miss weekends and holidays due to changing schedules. Remember, love the job, not just the airline you work for. I hope you find these insights valuable.

Join me in the cockpit of the Airbus A330 to this full rotation to Philadelphia USA and have a look what's it really like to be an airline Pilot.

Just finished my ATPL in Portugal, starting a320 type soon, and money is realy a struggle but there are alot of ways to do the ATPL, like modular where you take modules one by one ! Work hustle get the money, get the modules and in 3 4 years you will have the ATPL ! money is not the problem, stillness and waiting for something to happen is ! if you are waiting for the 100k to start the ATPL will take longer than doing them step by step ! keep studying, keep hustling and dont give up on your dream !

I just finished six years of training and instructing and fly for the airlines now. Do it if you love it, not for any other reason or you won’t be happy. All of this guy’s concerns are valid and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but if you love it it’s the best job in the world.

I was very fortunate, my dad was a flight instructor. I instructed all through college, serving in the reserves as an enlisted Marine and even had 28 hrs in a fighter jet / war bird. The F-4. Every ride I took in military flight training counted as 2.5 for the 1st phase, and 2.0 once we transitioned to trainer jets. I did stay back for 3 months and served as an instructor, and still landed, no pun intended, at my replacement squadron assignment 1 year after joining. They did something really rare for me. They frocked me to the rank of 1st lieutenant, to save me from experiencing a year out in the fleet as a 2nd lieutenant.

The most important thing you’ll ever do, is get your seniority date at an airline. Hence, getting my wings in the military early, started the clock on the minimum active duty time I owed them. Which put my back in the reserves, still as an aviator, and at an airline.

The military has many platforms that do not have weapons systems. Military flying does not have to involve combat, if that would be an issue for you. It’s the route I recommend to anyone who is pursuing an airline career. If you are in the United States and you choose the air national guard, it’s very possible to end up at an airline by the time you’re 25-26, and I’m talking a major carrier, not a regional. You can use the guard to pay for your college, go to the command you want to serve, tell them you want to be a maintainer at that unit while you go to college and also build time as an instructor. My airline actually hired a 24 year old recently. She made it through the training, and the two years they want you to harden off with the unit, as an active duty member.

Study ways to fall asleep fast, it is different for everyone, but I can be out in about 5 minutes, even if I just woke up 3 hours prior, and I’ve mastered short napping. A 20 minute deep nap, and I’m very fresh for 3-4 hours. That covers most domestic flights.

You have one of the most underrated aviation channels on youtube. I'm entering my CPL in New Zealand and your guidance is invaluable.

one of the good things that nobody talks about: being a pro at hotels and fast packing

[KeepingOnTheWatch]

I fly for an airline with routes from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The health concerns are definitely real - don’t discount this boys and girls! The biggest challenges for me is the lack of healthy, balanced meals and constantly changing sleep schedules. It gets rough at times.

At the 33 mark, I love how you explained when you do the flight control check. Many airlines do the flight controls check after startup, but very few do it during the taxi! Nice VLOG!!

You covered the issues comprehensively. Thank you. Those are the reasons I am not aiming for wide body jet pilot. Additional issues for me is the low humidity and exposure to lower air pressure lowering your oxygen saturation in your bloods.
