I remember when I was getting my PPL and I was complaining to a group of young commercial/CFI pilots at my flight school about how the school was really pushing its loan program and how I felt it was best to try to get through flight training with as little debt as possible. I got a lot of sideways glances even when I explained that I had already gone through college and had tons of student debt but that the interest was worse than the balance. People just thought I was crazy for thinking that there was a chance they couldn’t just magically make the debt go away with big 1st officer salaries. I have a high salary, too, and I’m still paying off my student loans (almost done finally, but they’re still there). It’s so easy to get swept up in the hype, and I genuinely feel really bad for anyone who signed up for a boat-load of debt to blaze through their ratings only to not have a job at the end of that road.

UPS is hiring because they won the USPS contract for air services. Also why FedEx is now overstaffed.

[theodormagi]

The fact that you did flight training for 35, 000$ is amazing! Very inspiring!

[asteward]

Great content, as always! However, you missed Alaska and Hawaiian (both legacy carriers). Of course, neither is hiring.

[oskh]

Such a helpful video but more importantly super encouraging and motivational! Thanks so much!

[jazzyj]

Your awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!! Keep it up kiddo. Oh, and P.S., I’m digging the elk shed in the background!

Maybe film shoulders-up so constant hand-arm bee swating movement isn't distracting...or reduce the picture and play b-film in the big picture

[bigvaxmeanie]

I wanted to become a pilot, but I passed the FAA ATC assessment and I was selected for air traffic controller trainee.

I'm thinking of just doing ATC for 25 years and then becoming a corporate pilot for a retirement job at age 50.

Thanks for your channel and the updates!

[obZen]

Thanks for the update! Subscribing just for these :)

[theoldaviator]

What do you know about the 91/135 world? Who is hiring? What are their requirements? What if I want to fly PC12s with you?

[alexp]

My buddy applied to Alligiant he got turned away. He has over 4, 000 hours. I think Alligiant is looking for qualified 121 pilots.

[chrislovett]

Great info. I’m trying to get my 12 year old granddaughter interested in aviation

[Shandakel]

Spirit furloughing, and downgrading pilots while giving executives millions of dollars of pay raises in the same article is wild TBH

[jbaldwin]

Do you have any info on what is going on from a hiring standpoint at NetJets or at other Part 135 operators?

[MarkTaylor]

It's all due to the constriction of aircraft production, slowing down like a bottle neck. SaulGoodman🎉

[currencyme]

Taking my classes at a college knocking out my general education classes first then quitting my job as an aviation combustor welder to go to flight school but this scares me

[matthewflynn]

So I just hit 1500 hours and am really feeling this hiring freeze. What’s your thoughts on working abroad vs only focusing on the US? PS I am an American citizen only.

[FluffyTreereviews]

Good for SW I hate not knowing where I’m going to sit I want to know in advance 😊

[kim-cn]

thanks for the great info
one quick question, if i work in airline a320 FO in asia region, is it part 121?
