Blue Line Aviation Flight School Visit

[@shanegibson8530]

Great job! Watched your ATP v Blue Line comparison vid as well. Very well organized. Keep it up!

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Thanks Shane!

[@shanechristopherson]

I also watched that one. The videos on here are great!!!!

[@CaptainRabia]

I've watched this video and decided to go to BlueLine Aviation! Thanks Andy!

[@AndyPateVlogs]

That’s awesome to hear 😊 Make sure to check out Blue Line’s social. They have a lot more updated content, and we just released a video that goes over all the expenses you need to consider before joining a flight school!

Hey man, I'm getting out of the Marine Corps as an Osprey mechanic and I was looking for a school just like this. its Awesome to see a Mech doing what I want to do but just steps ahead with immaculate detail. I am lucky to find your channel

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Thanks man! The Osprey is my favorite airframe. If they were frequent on the civilian side, I'd be doing whatever I can to get on them. I'll be posting more videos after I graduate (there is no time to edit while in school 😅).

[@kevinmccarthy8746]

Funny the location for me would be the warmer the better. I have got to say that I watched your great, informative show and heard how you really did a great job laying out pretty much every thing that involves your carrier and the school. I just found out through your video that some people will be able to teach, get flight time, and pay back your loans. NOW YOUNG MAN what if the student got his solo 43 years ago, now is 65, in great shape, and is very keen on immersing himself in a school like setting with out the family circus to distract him which is constant unless sleeping. So I really appreciate the out line for the school. I( definitely picked up on the Blue line pilots sharing maybe more comradery for me is very important kind of person I want to be around for fun and inspiration.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Blue Line has had students enroll in their 50’s 😁 As you get older the career choices start to shift as the airlines has a max age limit of 65, but there are other career opportunities!

[@kevinmccarthy8746]

@@AndyPateVlogs YES, YES, of course. People need to work. Not really a big deal unless I want a yacht. I have my SSI of 1200$ plus my 200.000$. I spend about$500 dollar on living expensives in Mexico. The air lines were out from the beginning at 65. But if I take an introduction flight it will be full speed ahead for me. That is the bodybuilder in me, And kind of like you from what I see and hear on your video`s. Does the extra twin training have a big effect on getting a job? if so then about 160.000$ should cover it?? I do need to know if I could teach or fly for private people. Unless the airlines and teaching jobs need to have the insurance company cover a older guy of 65. AND STATISTICS SAY THIS OF A 65 YEAR OLD man. If so then I will buy a yacht, a small one. Thank you, Andy.

[@KeokiDude]

Just started to follow you and watch a few of your videos, you do a great job and keep it up. Best of luck to you and your future as a pilot.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Thanks George! Consistency isn't my strong suit with this channel, but I post when I get the chance.

[@KeokiDude]

@@AndyPateVlogs No worries. You are basically doing what I wanted to do when I was 18 back in 1989. I'll live vicariously through you in my old age. (:

[@rg759]

Great video! Just recently secured my spot for the January 20 start date and agree with everything you had to say, their program blew me away when I went for a tour. Hope to see you there!

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Thank you! I should be starting in February so we'll definitely cross paths at some point!

[@dakotamermaid]

Can you tell me how it is so far?

[@AndyPateVlogs]

@@dakotamermaid I assume this question might be directed to RG 75? Just in case, I responded to your other comment not in this conversation thread! 😁

[@KonnorFeil]

How did it go? I am looking into the school and want to hear some reviews from blue line students.

[@rg759]

@KonnorFeil Well, I completed ifr thru mei in 4.5 months, worked there for a little over two years as a cfi teaching every course at one point or another. Also got to represent the school by flying the twin to Oshkosh and Sun n Fun in the same year which was awesome. Started with PSA last year flying CRJs and am currently in training with Avelo Airlines learning to fly 737s. So overall I'd say pretty successful. If you're willing to put the effort in they will help you get it done.

Yet another amazing video!

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Haha, thanks again! 😁

[@smithlopez3965]

Nice very detailed video

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Thanks! My ATP vs Blue Line video is even more detailed. Fried my brain making it 😅

[@KPDXPat]

How did you end up likeing Blue Line? I was concidering ATP but then ran onto a video you had made that compared the 2. BL is quite a bit more and I would be starting w credit for Private. Im on west coast so I would have to move out that way for a bit.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

I’m really happy I chose to go there! Especially now with their new location, it’s definitely an amazing experience. The only thing is you bring up two things: Price and location. For price, you’ll have to crunch your own numbers to see if it works for you. It doesn’t always work for everybody. Make sure to consider that if you’re entering ATP w/ private, you need a minimum of 78 hours to join their program, so make sure to consider those costs as well. As for location, it’s also up to you. If you crunch the numbers and it’ll save you a ton to not move, then definitely stick with choosing local. I’m glad I moved, and you’ll have to get used to it anyways as an airline pilot (or even as a flight instructor if you choose to go to other flight schools because you’ll have to go where there are open jobs).

[@leakyleekss]

did u have to pay your own way from florida to blue line for the discovery flight? also can someone do all the labs/ratings and leave without doing the instructor ratings?

[@AndyPateVlogs]

I had to pay for both the assessment flight (they don’t call them discovery flights anymore, as it’s a part of the enrollment process), and any expenses to get to Florida. Flight schools don’t pay for travel for you to go to them. The only option at Blue Line is the full Career Pilot Program, so you’d have to do the instructor ratings as well.

[@karenalmeida5133]

This video is very helpful😊😁Superb! Thank you so much. My son would really want to go yo flight school in US, it may help us if you can do a video for interested International student like my son.. We had a his discovery flight last June at ATP El Monte airport while on the other hand we already had initial inquiries in PSA at Concord.. Glad to know abt Blue line..just wandering how they will manage to help possible International student like my son.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

Glad the video was helpful! 😁 Blue Line has an international program btw. Their training advisors can walk you through the process.

[@karenalmeida5133]

Bec of your video abt Blue line vs ATP… we’re now considering Blue line for next year😊.we’re so impressed with the facilities and ofcourse the diamonds hehe😍..and the quality you were sharing about BL..👍👍 My son Marius is a graduating student here in Manila and he wants to pursue flying school in the US…though we’ve been to the west -CA...NYC in the east but we’ve never been to NC And we dont know what to expect there.. As international student- Will BL handle the student’s visa? Is there any scholarship being offered? Also, checking if we can avail of the study loan? Since we’ll be the ones supporting him from here? These are some of my questions. Submiitted the apli form and hopefully they’ll give us more details. *if we can make it, hope you can do a story about an Int’l student experimce😁🫰💗

[@dhruvalpatel1035]

How much they cost for CPL(commercial pilot license)?

[@AndyPateVlogs]

I'm actually not sure. I did the full program, so my pricing is different from those who just want a single rating. I would hit up Blue Line and ask what the commercial license costs on its own.

[@dhruvalpatel1035]

@@AndyPateVlogs please ask them for 230 hours single engine and multi engine with instrument rating course and time duration for it.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

@@dhruvalpatel1035 It'll be quicker for you to give them a call and ask them 😁, especially if they have any questions for you specifically. Here's their number: 919-578-3713

Interesting, I will give them a call tomorrow. Are you a paid spokesman

[@Stellardiary]

how to do CPL and get a bachelor's degree as i am about to graduate my high school

[@AndyPateVlogs]

I always recommend going straight into flight school, You can get all of your ratings and certificates, become an instructor, and while instructing you can work on your degree while building hours. You can still even be working on your degree while at the regionals building seniority being they don’t require a degree.

Not yet, but I will be moving there in the next couple of days though!

[@dakotamermaid]

How is it now that you’ve started?

[@AndyPateVlogs]

It's quite intense, but it's definitely manageable. As long as you stay on top of everything, it is quite fun! I've only flown three times and I'm already landing, taking off, talking to ATC, etc.

[@sjcpilot]

@@AndyPateVlogs I'm looking at coming up tomorrow to checkout Blue Line. Already a PPL here and looking at the career program. Any other feedback on Blue Line themselves? I keep hearing it is intense and they push to get you completed. Thanks!

[@sjcpilot]

@@AndyPateVlogs Awesome video as well btw.

[@AndyPateVlogs]

@@sjcpilot Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. It is no doubt intense, but I honestly couldn't tell you if it is more or less intense than other fast track programs. Blue Line is huge on getting you done on your projected time and within the projected budget, but their high pass rate is an indication that they don't push to the point of hindering the quality of the education. It'll mostly come down to an individuals commitment to the school. I'm living, breathing, eating and sleeping aviation right now and I'm doing great according to my instructor (thank God 😅).

[@sjcpilot]

@@AndyPateVlogs Awesome, glad to hear it! Hoping to learn more tomorrow during the tour. Excited to check it out. Appreciate your insights. Are you going for the entire career program or just the PPL?
