I remember the discovery flight so vividly. December 30th I went on a flight, Jan 10th I took my first lesson. Just about to finish my PPL. Trying to schedule the check ride for September!

I’ve been at AA for 10 years and upgraded 2 years ago. I was at Eagle (Envy) for almost 17 years and was a Captain for 15 of those.

Just went on a trip flew AA round trip. Flying each time makes me want to be a pilot so quick. I'm finally taking a discovery flight this month!

You guys in the US are so lucky, you have a pathway and opportunities. I’ve been qualified as a pilot for over 10yrs and I can’t get a job

Hello Garrett,
I've been your regular viewer for a while now. Love what you do. I wanted to ask why you chose American Airlines if you don’t mind sharing. Of course it’s one of the major airlines but I wanted to know your reason for choosing AA over some other airlines in the USA like Delta.

[sannigargallo]

Nice video, how long did your journey from start to now take you?

[benderandownz]

I just finished my CFI last month, I'm so ready to not have to pay for most of my hours now 😂

[nilanthidesilva]

I really want to be a pilot when I’m older so this video is amazing thank you! If anyone has any other suggestions about when to start training and other stuff please let me know. I’m wondering if I should start after college or during college right out of high school, or anything else.

Quick question, the “Academy of Aviation” in Atlanta Georgia, do you think it’s a good flight school? I’ve looked into it. But I’m still not sure. Idk what to look for

[vaderanomaly]

I live in jersey city and I went around the other week with a self made word document I printed with a ton of questions I got from other YouTubers and went to morristown and Caldwell airport to interview flight schools. I'm still not sure which school to go to but all I know that its hard to pay for all of this. I definitely have to go the loan option.
