During flight training you are all fine right and not really thinking about will happen after you graduate. Let me be honest with you guys. Most flight schools get their hands of you as soon as possible. They did their job which is providing you a CPL with frozen ATPL and that’s it. Some good flight schools actually provide you some ‘after care’ after the flight training to make sure you get that first very important job. But as I said, many of them couldn’t care less. So a lot of people graduate and are released into the free world. All of a sudden there is no flight school helping you with anything anymore. How are you going to handle that? You are not alone, I am here to get some structure in your ‘new’ life! Let’s start!
-The first thing you do is get a job somewhere else than at an airline. Yes, you hear me correctly. The chance that you will obtain the first airline job while you are still at the flight training is rare, especially in a time of low demand. Depending on the economy and the flight school, it can take from a couple of months up to over 6 years before you end up in that right seat. The easiest way, if you did not complete any other study before, is to go to a few employment agencies and tell them you are willing to do any job (with a good pay of course) they have available. With a pilot career as background you should be able to get any job very soon. Once you did that, you have some income and you can at least pay your bills at the end of the month, such as your interest over the pilot loan.
-Second, once you have job it is time to prepare for the airline selection process. Start with a CV, cover letter, recommendation letters, organize documents airlines ask for and make at least 5 colour copies of your passport, license, LPE, Final Training Report, MCC & JOC certificate, Medical etcetera. Once you get invited, airlines will most probably ask you to take colour copies of these documents with you. Once you did all of this you can apply for the airlines you want to work for!

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel! This video is for everyone who is currently in their flight training and for everyone who (just) graduated from a flight school in Europe, looking for their first job in aviation. I will tell you about 6 things which I think you should immediately do when you graduate. The information in this video is based on some of my own experiences and the experiences of my classmates/colleagues back in the time when I/we graduated.

[@systemcem]

To sum up, 1st: Find a job to survive. 2nd: Prepare documents for the application process and apply 3rd: Get your proper suit for interviews 4th: Look at your notes( Atpl knowledge) 5th - Go simulator whenever possible 6th: Search paid job for aviation. In order to stay aviation field and show it during interviews.

[@jantube358]

Thanks.

[@canneddinners6059]

1. Get some RayBan Aviator sunglasses to look like a pilot 2. Buy a Breitling Navitimer because pilots apparently have them

[@abbieamavi]

I love how you always thank us for watching your videos, you are such a lovely soul :)

[@MarcellCsendes]

She is so amazing to tell us these, as others wouldn't do. I am not a pilot and not planning to be, but love aviation and in my spare time flying with A320 in P3D. It's not the same, but as I said, it surely extra useful for those, who want to be and will be :)

[@mohamedtahar9861]

Thank you so much Michelle x you are the best as usual.

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Ghoualmi mohamed tahar Thank you!!

[@saarb737]

Nice video Michelle :). Love your vids!

[@pratheekmendonca3791]

Thank you for the last 20 seconds of motivational spirit !

[@fsxaviator3866]

Also, maths and physics, English, geography is needed however don’t be like “OOO NO I WILL NEVER DO THIS ITS TOO HARD” it’s not true because you need the basics of you need to speak fluently English, write fluently in English and read it perfectly, geography just basic country and place skills, maths is not easy maths or difficult maths so Easy - Medium - Tricky it’s most likely medium depends which country and airline your coming to, for physics you need to know most of it and be able to remember it and make it simple, so in physics you should learn Aerodynamics, Oil, Fuel, Engines, Electricity etc, that’s how me a 20 year old FO in Poland for dreamliners helped me.

[@ViSijGames]

A good friend of mine got hired in Ryanair as a Second Officer already 2 months after graduated from flight school! :) The marked is really good at the moment. Great video!

[@nj472]

Viktor Sijpkens - I know that as a pilot you should take any job opportunities as it comes to flying an aircraft, but isn't Ryanair like the last place you would want to go? I saw a whole docu about how bad pilots were treated

[@ViSijGames]

NJ. Well, when you have taken a such tremendous loan, you must basically take any airline job out there, otherwise the rents and loan will increase.. There is not secret that Ryanair is a bad airline, with bad rutines. However, as long as you can fly, earn money (to pay your loans) and gain flight hours, airline does not really matter. I know many pilots in Ryanair, and none of them are treated bad? Most pilots in Ryanair are operating for them just to gain flight-hours and experience. Personally, I would have said yes to job position as a F/O 737 Pilot for Ryanair, If I got the opportunity. Lets just get done with the CPL first! :)

[@Moshimulations]

I reckon he crashed all of the landings because of poor landing skill like Ryan air

[@ViSijGames]

Have you had a bad day?

[@Moshimulations]

Viktor Sijpkens - Aviation no that is the definition of Ryanair

[@GultekinCOSAR]

Hello Yes You mentioned about after the graduation from flight School and the period When an Airline Pilot canditate looks for a job at an Airline Company. Yes as You mentioıned this is a hard and impatient period for the new graduate Pilots. I wish all nice and good pilots good luck after their graduation. Thank You very much for this video. See You. God bless You.

[@Alcadeno]

I hope to see you n flight one dayy

[@igor6767]

... Friendly, beautiful smart... Keep it up, Michelle!

[@gloriahernandez7727]

Dutchpilotgirl thank you for feedback on what do after you finish your action training! 😉🇺🇸✌🏻

[@ryanbaircraftmechanicandsm7524]

Thanks. This is very very helpful. What aircraft would you recommend flying for a beginner? Keep on ✈️

[@shoibshafi2842]

Very kind. ❣️

[@kristensorensen2219]

Your advice is wonderful! You are so fortunate to be flying now, so many of us old farts retiring. I'm 61 so didn't get to move up like today. LOL!

[@mike_9978]

nice Video Michelle ☺ have a nice day ;)

[@franciscomontilliano4721]

Thank you. 😃

[@neilharper6317]

Yes, DutchPilotGirl, I always give your video a thumbs up ever since I discovered you on "Captain Joe". I've subd and clicked the little bell on the upper right. Nice lecture, very informative, thank you :)

[@Korean_Airlines_Official]

Neil Harper me too

[@THYB737]

Hello, thank you for the information. I am also an ATPL graduate for 4 month and still looking for my first cockpitjob. Unfortunately many companies didn't even react to my application :( I have also the problem not to be an European citizen, which is a criteria of many airlines (I live in Germany but have turkish passport). Now I slowly understand that I should look out for other job but it must be definitely an aviation related job. I hope everything is going to be alright.. Happy landings!

[@call911forcookies2]

I wish you luck with your endevours!

[@THYB737]

Call 911 For Cookies thanks dude !

[@linkco4607]

hello man, did you land in a job at the end? how long did it take you?

[@j.p.3891]

Nice video. Hey, how do you think this whole Alitalia mess will affect pilots? Is it doomed or salvageable?

[@cmac6769]

I agree with all of your points, they are relevant and informative, however I do think it is slightly pessimistic perspective. The market for new pilots in Europe is currently very good and anyone graduating from an integrated flight school has a very good chance of getting a job within a 0-12 month period. Of course, the airline industry changes very quickly and something like a rise in oil price could change this overnight and this is something anyone embarking on flight training needs to take into account. Great video!

[@SadethCheng]

C Mac It wish it was like that in the US.

[@vnavspeed6737]

It's awesome thank You captain Michelle ! and i have a question for you. I have 20/20 (6/6) binocular vision but my left eye is slightly amblyopic. My optometrist says that i have 90% vision in my left eye which is much better than 20/30 (6/9). Could it be an obstacle for me to get my Class 1 medical?

[@mohammadmohsin8761]

your videos really helping me man

[@Korean_Airlines_Official]

Thx

[@jandeboer2612]

Het selectieproces kan ook nog erg lang in mijn geval 9 manden En wel benieuwd hoe dit bij jou was? Dit was bij een cargo maatschappij uit Leipzig

[@Nysoksieha]

I’ve been wondering about how I can work for a job in a different country? All I want is to seek any small regional airline jobs in different countries, and I will be most likely feel delightful to have a job, but how can I find a way to be accepted by them, and work for them?? Because many different countries will most likely accept their natives pilots or ( native citizens ) and my country is a difficult place to find aviation jobs :’(( I’m from Cambodia 🇰🇭 , and I find it difficult to live in my country. Could you share me some of your advices on how I can work in different countries? I only want to live and enjoy my life with the sky peacefully. I would be gladly appreciated for reading everyone’s advices and opinions in the future. :D Thank you ^_^

[@joemccallum710]

My 141 approved ONLINE ground school, plus books, 310 bucks.....cheep....i fully understand this is just the beginning. But its not some crazy expensive student loan, my current career dont allow me to attend a typical school/classroom.....

[@budhapradeep]

After finishing the all trainings also we have to pay money to airlines for the job or not plz help me guys!!

[@Artorias_4321]

1st...... Love from India 💙 Keep making great content like this.

[@abhijithodayoth9061]

Nice video

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Abhijith Odayoth Thank you!

[@mohboh8084]

What about 1500 hrs before becoming an airline pilot? how about becoming a CFI or CFII? Can make money and hrs at the same time.

[@khalidabdulghani]

Let's say I work elsewhere temporarily. However, I am still engaging my skills by a home simulator, such as P3D with a study level aircraft. Does that count as "in aviation"?

[@ApproachingMinimum]

fnpt in Hamburg, you know what im talking about?

[@grafkoks9959]

I've got an other question.. Do anyone know how the situation looks like in eastern europe? Ukraine, Belarus, Russia etc. NOT POLAND, CZECH, HUNGARY etc. Which licences they have? JAR, PART-FCL, or different? Easy or hard to find job as pilot there? I've got only one information: You have to be citizen of Russia, UA, BY etc. and to become pilot there, you've to go to an university, study there something like mechanics with specifaction "pilot" ONLY THEN YOU CAN GET A JOB AS PILOT! For example: What's about a russian citizen, whose finished flight training in Poland, Germany, France, etc. with PART-FCL licence, can he get a job for example in companies like Aeroflot, Rossiya, etc.

[@sayanthc5715]

Mam I wear glasses can I become a cpl waiting for ur kind reply thank u

[@sethvandyke1894]

Hey did you get an airline pilot job since posting this?

[@LikedGecko315]

If you choose to go to the army, do they let you get all your ratings and licenses for free??

[@jaime3579]

Are there any jobs in Europe for under 1000h?

[@rankavik2651]

Does FSX count?

[@ayhansenyigit4571]

You are so beautiful that you make me believe that this world is worth living.

[@de5792]

Why don't you do a video about math skills required in the aviation field?

[@DutchPilotGirl]

ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣ ΕΟΥΙΝΤΑ 15 february my friend...!

[@SemyrasGerkhanas]

Please Michel, physics and maths in detail. I just finished my uni degree and kinda forgot maths and physics so, what sort of stuff I need to revise before starting my flight school !

[@disturbed911]

would a GCSE path in math be enough ?

[@jakeaviator1515]

Let’s put it this way, I don’t have GCSE’s and I’m doing my licence. Can you do things like if in 17 min you use 10 gal of fuel, how many gal in a hour? Basic formula rules and algebra. I wouldn’t worry to much.

[@FyingDude]

Good as always mam ;) Keep filming and buy a microphone ;p ;)Keep an eye on U.

[@chrisisnice]

Its a struggle in the states

[@khalidabdulghani]

Christopher Culpepper true. It's the best here in the U.K. with EasyJet and Ryanair. However, I am only 15 and by the time I will be applying the demand would most likely be low.

[@Abdelailah4]

Like you flight

[@tertuliano1372]

subtítle in enghish from portugueses my smartfhone is BARELA neod donation used for me tank you

[@drpando]

So sorry - don't understand what you mean by "8th PL Theory", mentioned at 2:56 ????? I am U.S. based. Is this something concerning foreign pilots?

[@THYB737]

lol dude she said ATPL Theory - Airline Transport Pilot Licence Theory

[@drpando]

OmG!! .... so embarrassed..... yes, now I hear it. It's her accent.... in my defense, I heard her repeat it multiple times, and each time it sounded like she was saying "8th PL Theory"....

[@samerhaddad280]

Michelle, when TCAS goes off, is the tendency to listen to what the plane is telling you to do, or is it to what ATC is telling you to do?

[@THYB737]

Sam Haddad plane

[@khalidabdulghani]

Hayrullah Ceylan plane. An air collision had happened because of that. I would advise you to watch that documentary on a DHL and a Russian air collision due to ATC error.

[@THYB737]

Yes plane, as I said ?!

[@SemyrasGerkhanas]

Always plane!!!

[@axelsflightsimulation]

i just realized that you look like that actress on the girl on the train lol

[@axelsflightsimulation]

Haley Benett!

[@user-dl8oo4vs2n]

👌👌👌

[@joemccallum710]

Think the best way is to NOT pay a school and do all the flight training and education free of a student loan debt, its also less expensive.

[@Giftedmike359]

I am colour blind. I think this removes any professional options. But will there be restriction for a PPL?

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Michael Shanks Are you like..very badly colour blind or just a little. You could do a medical check?

[@Giftedmike359]

Red green, no guarantee I will tell the difference between the two... no problem with traffic light colours though, but I can’t tell the difference between cats eyes in the road. I think the main issue is working out if another plane is flying towards or away from you! Maybe the simulator advice is a good thing to try?

[@cristicristian7475]

@Michael. Those who have problem with colour blindness are restricted to fly at night. And I think you will be able to pass the 2nd class medical examination to get a PPL and to fly in General Aviation :)

[@TomLawsonANIMATIONS]

Depending on your type of colour blindness you could be eligible for a class 2 medical. Only way to know is to go and do a medical!

[@saratogapilot6100]

Red/ Green colorblindness is quite common in men. You might require a waiver for a third class medical certificate if it is really severe, otherwise, if it is not, you will probably not have any trouble. You can take the Ishihara test on-line (just do a search for it), and if you get something like 70% correct, you could get a medical certificate without a waiver or special issuance.

[@nishalemmanuel2780]

Is there any minimum height requirements to become pilot?

[@Artorias_4321]

Nishal emmanuel no

[@Artorias_4321]

Nishal emmanuel until you are Tyrone Lannnister 😂😂😂

[@chrzmaxx9140]

Yes I thinks its a minimum of 160 cm

[@VictorStanica27]

Nishal emmanuel some flight schools and airlines require you to be something like 1.52m minimum and 1.9-2m max but not all

[@richardm9688]

Then there is an increased risk you might shoot someone with an arrow while they are sitting on the toilet.

[@Abdelailah4]

Gooo

[@Abdelailah4]

Like you fliet

[@kanemotohiroyasu]

🌸💗

[@khalidabdulghani]

I'm poor. I'm young. I'm passionate. I have no valuables. Can I still become a pilot?

[@THYB737]

Try it.

[@khalidabdulghani]

Hiking Fan oh crap, my dad won't let me do that. Plus I don't think I can save up enough if I join for pilot training at the end

[@THYB737]

Your dad must not decide for you. This is a crime. Just do it man

[@khalidabdulghani]

Hayrullah Ceylan ur right. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. This is my future not his. Thx tho, I'll look into it.

[@khalidabdulghani]

Btw my friend also told me to join the RAF and said it was the best option. I am also an Air Cadet

[@savagegamer1021]

hey Michelle this kinda private or inappropriate question but my question is how do female pilots deal with periods?? like see my teacher told me when a girl or a women gets her periods they really become very weak and feel sick .... so dont u or any other female pilots have problem while flying .......

[@savagegamer1021]

not more than ur family bitch ass

[@swift7493]

They probably just get days off, it's pretty much being sick.. their stand-by pilot will take over.

[@laurawusthilario8410]

What your teacher forgot to Tell you is that the symptoms vary from woman to woman, and even if you have some symptom its not debilitating,you can still work, and think, lol. Inform yourself before Making such stupid questions.

[@marianoschinca]

sutitulos in spanish please

[@espuis]

get yoursef a nice microphone, audio quality needs an improvement! greetings

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Guilles I am using the Rode Video Mic Pro, do you have any suggestions? I am always struggling with the audio so you are right!

[@saratogapilot6100]

The problem is not the microphone, it is that the microphone is too far away from the person speaking. You might want to get a cheap, wired lavalier (lapel) microphone and plug it into your camera. The closer the microphone is to the speaker, the less the echos (reverberation from the walls) can be heard.

[@swift7493]
