Hi Garrett! I’m a retired Air Force pilot and now a Southwest Airlines Captain. My sons are 15 & 16 years old and they want to fly for SWA also but the civilian route is so different from my military path. Your video was awesome to learn how the current system works to build time and ratings. Thanks so much brother!! I hope you come fly for us soon. 🇺🇸👍

[@lizettegallegos]

I almost bought into Embry-Riddle because it seemed like THE school to go to for flight training and aviation, but I quickly realized that I had great other options as well! I’m at San Jose right now which I know isn’t as recognized and glorified as other aviation schools, but I love it! Plus the in-state tuition makes it much more affordable for me 😂. I just started flight training so I have a looonnnggg way to go but I’m already really excited about my future as a pilot

[@nmnmnm35]

San jose shits on ERAU , west coast best coast out here. Youre at the right place

[@ph5769]

Embry-Riddle is good, but it is extremely expensive! If you can get the ratings cheaper, do it!

[@thebier395]

And how is it tho? Did you start from zero there? I’m trying to figure out what I have to do and what school to go to! I live in nyc but I’m willing to move anywhere just to get to a nice school

It was refreshing to hear the path to becoming a pilot from a US point of view, especially given the concept of regional and mainstream (is that what they call it?) airlines.

I'm a little older, 33, but have money saved up and was wondering which direction to take to get to the airlines. It's funny because I was really thinking of going with ATP because they seem like the best and largest flight school nationwide, and they have several campuses near me. Your video may have just pushed me over the edge and I may pull the trigger on making a career change. Thanks for your content and hope you stay safe in these crazy times!

Hey Garrett, thank you for the informative blog, and excellent job on the new intro! It's clear from all the information you provided and the enthusiasm that you are very passionate about being a pilot, as well as inspiring others who may want to do the same. I look forward to seeing more blogs!

[@brycenelson2208]

Army WOFT. Either street to seat or prior enlisted/officer. Minimums for military aviators is 750 TT at the regionals. The Army will pay for all of your military flight training and once you reach that 750 mark you are eligible to be hired at a regional. The regionals have rotor transition programs for military and civilian helicopter pilots and if you’re military the regional will pay for it! Because there are fixed wing requirements you still have to meet you have to get your ratings. As a warrant officer in the Army you don’t need a a college degree to be a pilot. Talk your local pilot recruiter guard/reserve/active and they will help you. It’s an excellent path to pick if you have interest flying military aircraft!

[@juliespencer1164]

Great vlog Garrett very interesting topic, You certainly know your job Captain big responsibility I would imagine flying passengers all over the world Do you work for United Airlines.

[@askthetime117]

Nice video! Quick question/comment. I do agree with you that the degree aspect is becoming obsolete on the regional level, but many mainline/legacy carriers still require or “strongly prefer” at least a 2 year degree. Though not wasting your time on college to get into the regionals as fast as possible sounds appealing, you still do need to consider what is required in progressing your career. I think it always just depends on what kind of flying you want to do, but it is just something to think about.

[@kpov2533]

Every major airline that I've looked at require a bachelor's degree that is why I'm doing college before any flight training

[@nicholasleigh66]

Something to note, you won’t be able to get to mainline carriers without the degree. If you only go to a school like ATP, you’ll be stuck at the regional level. AirlinePilotCentral is a good source to research prospective employers.

[@coltonhathcock9764]

Nicholas Leigh exactly... most everybody requires a bachelors degree.
