Oof. Would sting to be getting out of flight school with $100K in loans and start out making $30K. But, on the other hand, it is jet time, so pluses and minuses, I guess.

im a CFII with 270 hours could I still apply to jsx?
@jaycay993 күн бұрын
You can apply if you meet their listed requirements! But of course, there are no guarantees.

how did you survive on that pay?
@jaycay994 күн бұрын
At the time I was 19yrs old. So I didn't have much debt besides my flight loan, and I lived with my mom. Otherwise I would of been struggling big time.

@ would you recommend going to jxs or contour airlines at lie time like 5-800 hours or just keep working till ratp? For me 1250

Very informative, I actually applied to JSX around October and haven't heard back. What's the approximate time frame between applying and hearing back?
@jaycay994 күн бұрын
You know it's hard to say. When I was hired back in 2018 it was a few days. But things have changed so much sense then that I can't say for sure.

Great video!. What is the average number of hours that a pilot can log annually at JSX?
@jaycay994 күн бұрын
Thank you! When I was there we averaged about 50hrs a month. So I'd say about 600hrs a year give or take.

Thinking about keeping my ASC position if i get hired after flight school like they promised 😅
@captain773 күн бұрын
So to be clear, the hrs are total flight hrs, so in theory you could go from commercial license to JSX?
@jaycay993 күн бұрын
On a legal basis, yes, you could have just a Commercial ME and a IFR Rating and go to JSX. However, that probably isn't happening much these days.
@captain773 күн бұрын
Thanks. It wasn't clear to me that the tiers were hrs flown with jsx or total flight hrs

No Sir, I am not at Delta. I only got hired there, I went to another Major.

@ congrats man! I’m working on my PPL at the moment. Has been tough for me honestly. Going to finish PPL then decide if I will go for flying as career or keep it as hobby.
