Very educational stuff....thank you, Sr.

1400 hours. Several applications to Part 135s to time build for Part 121….Going back and forth with the idea of this now. Perfect timing for this video. Thank you sir!

I am glad the video was helpful. There are many paths towards the airlines. Part 135 is one of them. I suggest when considering a 135 operation you research how many hours you will be flying. Also, if you are flying right seat confirm the hours are considered SIC time. We will be recording a video on this topic coming up shortly. Congratulations on taking one step toward your career goal by applying for a 135 job! If you have any more questions feel free to reach out here or online at www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/contact/.

My finding is that the bottom of the pyramid is why people aren't going into aviation. I worked for a 135 op that refused to spend money to train up new hires. The attitude was the captain was to be the teacher, and most of them did NOT take that mandate to heart. My advice: get a job that pays well with regular hours and no excessive "dues paying." You'll thank me in 30 years.
