Hi, I have a couple of questions. 1. Did the loan company check your credit before accepting you? 2. Is there a reason why you chose the Cadet Program over the United Aviate Program?

[@MichaelHsu95]

Hi Sonya, thanks for watching my video. No they did not do a credit check on me before accepting me When I applied the united program did not exist yet. But looks like there are more and more options now. Be sure to subscribe, would really appreciate it

Hi, thank you for this video! I'm 13, and I was wondering if there is anything I could do at my age that would be helpful later in my career. I've already started taking online ground school lessons, would this prove helpful as I would gain a thorough understanding before going to the AA Academy?

[@MichaelHsu95]

Thank you so much for watching. Yes that would be helpful! I would say start taking flying lessons, that would help you a ton!! Be sure to subscribe!

Loved the video as always! When you take out a loan which I believe they use Discover? How soon do you start paying back the loan? Also should I take a discovery flight before applying to the academy ?

[@MichaelHsu95]

Hi Melissa, I’m glad you liked this video. I believe you start paying back after your training, but I’m not 100% sure on that. You should take a discovery flight be for attending the program but I would apply as soon as possible. A lot of people are interested in the program so it’s better to apply now and take a discover flight before you attend. Be sure to subscribe!!

Thank you for these videos! So much info I needed. I’ve been a flight attendant for AA for almost ten years now and I feel like it’s time to make the switch. Not sure if you had any ex-fa’s in your class but do you have Any idea if AA grants leaves to flight attendants who get into the program, or will I have to resign?

[@MichaelHsu95]

Yes we had a lot of AA FA, I’m not sure how they did it. I’m glad you like my videos. Be sure to subscribe. And feel free to message me on instagram id you have more questions
