[@BrucexfromxCanada]

I am not a pilot and myself, nevewr will be, I am a 73 year old retired electoronic technician in the greater Montrreal area. (Only once did I get "Saaniched" in Sydney!) However I have a friend who has a commercial license he got iin the U.S. (although he is a Canadian). Unfortunatley he lost his chance in life to become an airline pilot,however he would love to do something with it for the latter years of his career. I think something like crop dusting, water bomber, regional or executive, but first he needs some added training on a limited budget and some "injected moral pep". I noticed that you also come from "The other side of the great divide" i.e., BC. Currently he is in Alberta (having originated in Quebec), but also has people close to him in BC. I will keep his name anonymous for now, too respewct his privacy, but if I catch a phone number that might reach you by way of oner of the flight schools etc. in your area, I might try to call up with some more details and questions, as he also had a second occupation that is mobile. Now let's see what "flies" here!

[@JohnJones-s5y]

Another way of obtaining the helicopter pilots license is to be an interested employee of a helicopter company and take your training while part of your work compensation pays for your training. I worked in the parts department of Canada’s largest, at the time, helicopter company back in the mid 1970’s and more than a few got it that way!

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes that type of sponsorship does exist, if you are fortunate to find someone who is willing to invest in you. Unfortunately people don’t stick around at one company for long enough to make that investment worth it anymore.

Hello, I am a successful 39 years old finance professional in Toronto and want to become a professional pilot in a commercial passenger airline. I have 3 questions for you please: 1. How much time it will take me to be able to fly a commercial passenger jet? 2. How much money is required for it? (ballpark) 3. If I joined a flight school/club at a regional airport I could possibly do it along with my full-time job for the time being? I am mentally and physically fitter than some of the people half my age.

Hello, I am currently a grade 9 student and I was thinking about my career path and what job I would like to pursue. I love the thought of becoming a pilot, but I am still unclear of the process. If I were to become a pilot I’d want to fly commercially. Do I have to go to university after graduating highschool or can I go straight to flight school? How long would it take to graduate flight school? I live in Toronto, and was wondering if the competition to get into a flight school would be high, and if so should I apply elsewhere inside Ontario? Please do reply if you have the chance, thank you!

Great video. Quick question. How many flight hours do you think is required to get a decent first job. I was thinking of taking the bachelor of aviation technology course at Seneca. But having second thoughts because of the limited number of hours I will accumulate from the degree course itself

[@AviatorInspirations]

What is your definition of a decent first job? Until you get 500hrs you are only going to get ramp/dispatch/flying positions on a 206 or caravan. 500hrs is an insurance requirement for you to get into a Navajo or King air.

[@stargazer6199]

The pilot industry has never been hotter than it is now! Pilots are getting hired at the regionals with a 1000hrs when before it was 3000, and at mainline carriers with 2500hrs when before it was 5000.

My path is #2. I study in South Korea. But I think the flight school in my country is pretty poor. So instructor job is not many. Once I graduate my aviation university I need to find a job in a flight school. So Canadian flight school can be an option. I heard that Canadian flight school provide the residence visa to foreign instructor pilots.

I haven’t heard that, but it’s possible. Some schools can hire you if you do your flight instructor rating with them and sponsor your work visa. But that’s rare

The subject that helps in aviation is math. Some integrated courses require grade 12 math or physics, so it’s best to have 1 of those. Some courses don’t require either, as long as you have all the subjects to graduate high school.

[@AviatorInspirations]

It all depends if you want to go to an aviation college, or just follow the modular route. Grades don’t matter if you want to become a pilot without post secondary, but if you want post secondary then of course how you do in high school is important. Check out my channel for other videos on getting your pilots licenses.

@@AviatorInspirations how can I become a pilot?

[@SailorGerry]

Get some tutor help to help improve your math. Check all potential tutors, as costs can vary greatly. I was very poor in math in late primary school and early secondary school, however, started to 'see the light' in late high school and my early college years. Ended-up obtaining an ocean-going (marine) navigator's certificate, some subjects, of which required the use of spherical trigonometry (among other math tools). I exelled at this. Best of luck to you & 'Godspeed'! If not the airlines, there's always opportunities in flying in the Canadian bush.

Thx I love it and I want to become a pilot and I just fly glider what do you need to join the military

[@AviatorInspirations]

If you are young enough you can join the Cadets and they also fly gliders. Plus, you can get sponsored to do your PPL through them, its something you can look into. If you really want to serve in the military, really make sure you are OK staying there if you don't pass the flight training program, as its really tough. Here is the info I found on their recruitment website: www.forces.ca/en/job/pdf/pilot-32 Hope this helps, good luck!

[@iancioch4994]

The military constantly needs pilots it’s not like trying to get accepted to Harvard if you want to be a pilot in the military then it’s not that hard if you study and work hard. It’s easier through the military because you can get your schooling paid for aswell as your flight training

Btw after 4 yrs of college, how long do I need to train or how many hours should I fly to be a commercial pilot...pls let me know

[@AviatorInspirations]

Hello! Because you have post secondary, you don’t really need a flight college, you can just find an accelerated 2yr pilot program. Flight colleges do offer those, but most attach a diploma with it, so you would have to find a college without a diploma program. 26 is definitely not too late. Most of your questions will be answered if you watch my learn to fly playlist and finding a pilot job playlist👍🏻

Hi sorry but is there any possibility to work in Canada i am already a commercial pilot in Argentina and Ecuador, if there is a way can you tell me please and maybe how much it will cost ? Thanks

You can if you become a permanent resident of Canada, and do your license conversions. Conversions will cost $5000+ because you have to write the exams and pass the flight tests

[@aymanbenzaied969]

Hi , 😀 is the time building is counted in pilot experience.For example , If an hours job requirement is 3000 TT , does this mean that you need just 2000 hours as a pilot plus 1000 builded hours

[@AviatorInspirations]

Total time is the total hours of flying you have, it doesn’t matter how you accumulated them. If a job requires 3000TT the only way to get there is having a pilot job, nobody builds 1000hrs, you work as a pilot to get those hours.

Hi I really appreciate your videos. I was hoping you could answer my question. Will I be less likely to get a job as a pilot if I get my licenses from a flight school rather then a college aviation program. Also, is it worth it to get a unrelated degree from a university if I were to get the licenses from a flight school?

[@AviatorInspirations]

It does not matter to companies how you got your license, as long as you a competent pilot with a good work ethic. University is only needed at the main airline level, but even they have relaxed some of their requirements with the pilot shortage. So, the cheapest way is to get it done at a flight school, go to university on the side if you can, and get your first flying job ASAP after getting your license. If you do have the cash, then you can go the aviation program way and it will be slightly faster, but more intense and stressful with a chance of failing if you have poor worth ethic. Hope that helps!

[@AviatorInspirations]

I would always recommend it, and there is no reason you can’t do both. Also consider the aviation diploma. It’s useless for life, but is the piece of paper AC wants. If you want something useful, get a business degree while you flight train. Might take longer, but at least you have a proper degree that can help you with life in the future. Always have a backup plan 👍🏻

Hi there, i work for air Canada in Toronto ground handler for 6 years and I’m 36 years old. I really would love to be a pilot. Do you think I’m too old to go for it at this stage of my life?!

[@AviatorInspirations]

Hey! No you’re not too old, but you should have a different game plan than most. Airlines are all about seniority, so because you are starting late, it might not be the best option. If you are done by age 40, you theoretically have 25yrs to fly till 65, but can you afford to climb up the seniority ladder and low pay? What would be more enjoyable is finding a spot in the middle, either air ambulance or corporate flying. Both pay well and you don’t spend too much time away from family. Check out my pilot pay video, that might help you make a decision👍🏻 PS: I don’t know how AC’s seniority system works, but look into whether you can keep your seniority number while working ground part time and finish your flight training, then keep working ground part time until you get hired as a pilot and perhaps you won’t loose your retirement flight benefits. Versus if you quit, and you want to fly for AC in the future, can you come back to your old seniority?

Hi, your video is amazing! Could you please give me some advice on career planing of being a pilot in Canada, I am an international student who graduated from a Canadian high school. In September I will be enrolling the 18-months Brampton flight centre IATPL program, I am going to this program straight from high school so I don’t have an university degree, could you please give me some tips for future career planning? Do I need to go to university to get a degree after my IATPL program or you recommend me obtaining a flight instructor rating and start hour building? Thanks a lot!

Hey i am interested in becoming a pilot. Do you have any advice for someone who would want to become a free lance pilot? I have a vast network of people living in remote northern reservations, and there is no shortage of freight and elders looking for a safe trip into the city's for doctors appointments and such. I have the vision but how far out is this idea? what kind of plane do you suggest after obtaining a commercial pilot license? Is there legal issues for private rides and freight for profits? Is it possible to make profits off of a rental to get myself started? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

[@justsukhvir]

Is there any flying skul near Toronto which provides financial help or govt aid for flying training??

[@AviatorInspirations]

I don't think particular schools have anything setup for financial aid, but they will usually help you with any paperwork required for gov aid. Best is to contact each school directly and get them to refer you to someone who might be able to help. Google has lots of information, plus check on the unemployment gov website as they have some financial aid as well. Hope this helps!

Hello, I just recently stumbled across your videos. I am currently in 11th grade in Canada and want to peruse a career as a pilot. I had just recently made this decision so I’m am not sure if I have not taken any courses which will stop me from becoming one. I eventually want to become a airline pilot In BC Vancouver( though I am from Manitoba). I was hoping you could answer a few questions... What courses do I need to take in high school? What marks should I achieve In those courses. And since I am going to another province, how much should I be making a year to pay for my tuition and living? Thank you.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Hello and welcome to the community! All good questions! You should watch My “learn to fly” playlist and “getting a pilot job” playlist first, they will give you a basic foundation of this career. As for high school, math and physics are always beneficial and strive for as high of marks as possible. There are no specific subjects that you need for aviation, but having good marks will give you more options for your future and post secondary education.

[@keef-3257]

Aviator Inspirations Will do! I am just overwhelmed by all the videos I have seen so far talking about the pay and how long it takes to climb the ranks. Since I am moving province, I will have to pay for my living and flight school (while getting some financial help from family). Is it possible to work a job during your training, if you are training an ideal 2-3 times a week?

[@AviatorInspirations]

You don’t have to move provinces to train, there are schools all across Canada. Yes it’s possible to work, depending if you take the modular or integrated course

[@keef-3257]

Aviator Inspirations Could you go more in depth of what modular of integrated courses are?

Hi, after getting all pilot certificates and after building time as Flight Instructor , and by getting for myself an A320 or B737 type rating ,is it possible To get a first officer job in those aircafts directly?

[@AviatorInspirations]

No, in Canada you cannot buy type ratings. To get these job you need 5000+ of flight time, there are no shortcuts. After building 1000hrs as a flight instructor, you get a regional job, 3-4yrs there and then you can have a chance to fly these aircraft.

@@AviatorInspirations Alright

[@ashs1411]

is it alright to start going to aviation school? at the age 33. you think there is age restriction .

[@AviatorInspirations]

I get this question often, and no! I fly with many people who changed careers in their 30’s, and currently with the pilot shortage there is no better time in my honest opinion. If you can get your licenses done in 2yrs, take another 2yrs to build 1000hrs, then you will be at the regionals in Canada in 4-5yrs. 3rd yr regional captain makes $80k. More days away from home at the regionals, but it’s a livable wage. If you want to pursue corporate, that is also a great direction with good income. Less flying and time away from home, but you are always on call. Pro’s and Con’s to both. Check out my other videos about the pilot career for more info👍🏻

[@ashs1411]

@@AviatorInspirations Thanks for the reply!! do you think i have a realistic chance at getting into the airline at a late start with age, obviously after working up the ladder.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Getting in is no problem, it just depends how long you want to grind up the ladder. You will be at a regional about 5yrs, then you get to the mainline and take a pay cut, then about 10yrs to get to captain again. Retirement age is 65 at the airlines, then if you want to keep flying you have to find a lower tiered job (corporate, charter etc).

[@ashs1411]

Post finishing pilot training, you recommend becoming and instructor to build yours, or fly up north. which route would be faster. and add valuable experience? to get into the regionals?

Hello! Is there any update for 2019 on other ways to become a pilot in Canada? Hopefully I will be in Canda the next month as a Resident (in Gods will). Am I going to be allowed for a student loan and enroll to a College so that I can get a Degree for better chance for me landing a Jet Pilot Career. I don't have any degree right now. I am a HS graduate and i'm 24 but I am willing to work my ass off to become a pilot. Thanks in advance!

[@AviatorInspirations]

The ways how to become a pilot have not changed for the past 30yrs, you just have to pick the path that works for you. To get a student loan in Canada, you have to be a permanent resident. You should check out my modular vs integrated video👍🏻

[@istebangaming4758]

@@AviatorInspirations okay I will check it out. I will have my Permanent Resident Visa by the next 2-3 weeks and will be in Surrey as soon as I get my Visa. So hopefully I can fulfill my goal! And I would just like to ask if it's true that Canada has a some sort of a pilot shortage? Cause my wife's aunt got a chance to sit next to a West Jet Pilot 2 weeks ago in a flight going to Toronto and that pilot happens to be a Filipino too just like me. She asked him about his background and how did he became a pilot, and the pilot told her that he was back then just a High Schoold graduate in the Phils then he went to Canada and studied aviation. But she never got the chance to ask if he loaned or something or what path did he take, but the pilot told her that becoming a pilot in Canada was "easy". Not to mention the pilot was in his mid or late 20's. He also told my aunt in law that Canada will need 950+ pilots by next year. What the pilot said to my aunt in law made my hopes up. Hopefully, I will get the chance to study by my 25's or 26's so that I will not be too old becoming an airline pilot.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Everything that pilot told your aunt is true👍🏻. Work hard, and you will definitely reach your goals of becoming a pilot!

[@arshghuman6304]

Can I fly for AC without a degree? Or even Jazz aviation?

[@AviatorInspirations]

Jazz yes, AC no, they require some sort of post secondary.

[@arshghuman6304]

Aviator Inspirations I see that it says 3-4 year degree. Can we do it in any type of area? Also will getting a degree give me preference over other people who don’t have degrees for regionals?

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes it can be in any area, but I’ve heard of them accepting pilots with just diplomas. However if your goal is to fly for them, then getting a degree is best. No, a degree will not give you preference at finding your first job or a regional job, only hours matter at the lower levels.

[@donutfavehd7127]

Aviator Inspirations Arsh Ghuman I’ve actually gotten a chance to connect with some AC pilots via Instagram! Most of which told me they don’t have a degree or anything. No post secondary. They went through flight school and went to Jazz and got to flow into first officer positions at AC. I don’t think it’s really required honestly. It surely helps when applying though!

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes exactly, they post their requirements, but at the end of the day, if they need pilots they will hire without post secondary. When the pilot shortage ends, post secondary will be another box you have to check on the application.

[@AviatorInspirations]

What questions about training do you have?

[@LikedGecko315]

If you choose to go to the army, do they let you get all your ratings and licenses for free??

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes, but it’s a little more complicated than that. First it’s the air force that you should be researching, not the army. Then, they have quite a strict selection process, and you have to apply with a private pilot’s license from what I remember. Plus you have to finish 4yrs at Kingston college and serve for a minimum of 11yrs if you are selected for pilot. So yes, everything is paid for, BUT to make it through the pilot selection process is very hard, and if you don’t make it you still have to serve for a number of years to pay off your education. Hope that helps!

[@LikedGecko315]

Aviator Inspirations thanks

[@TEHRUSTYHOOK]

Currently going into my second year as a pilot candidate for the RCAF. Just going to clarify a few things. You don't require a PPL or any flying experience to apply. Phase one starts from the ground up whether you've flown or not. And the method you are explaining is the ROTP entry program through RMC Kingston. You can also apply as a direct entry candidate if you already have a bachelor's degree from any Canadian university. I however didn't do either, there is a new accelerated entry program only a few years old where you get accepted just after highschool, and rather than go to RMC for four straight years and then begin flight training, you instead go back and forth between phases of flight training and Seneca college in Toronto working on a Bachelor's in Aviation Technologies. Anyone considering it I encourage you to as this last year of my life has been incredibly rewarding, however like he mentioned, getting accepted is very tough in itself and a long process.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Fantastic, thanks for the clarification! A lot has changed since I lived in cold lake, I was a flight instructor at the regional airport. I’m glad to hear that they re-structured their training a little better and it sounds more balanced. I remember cadets coming in and wanting to rent the aircraft because it would be 1-2yrs before the next stage started and they didn’t want to loose all their skill. The Air Force must be feeling the shortage of applicants like the airlines are, sounds like they are all using the same tactics to recruit future pilots. I wish you best of luck in your training! Are you hoping for jet or cargo?

[@something7239]

This program you entered, was that the CEOTP program? I'm almost 22 years old and I very much want to become a pilot for the RCAF before it's too late, but I have no interest in any of the other roles in the Air Force. However, all I have is my GED. I do however have my Private Pilot License and I have a bit of glider experience back in New Zealand so I've always had an interest in flying. If there is anywhere I can contact you about this that would be much appreciated!

[@AviatorInspirations]

Are you a pilot currently? To convert you international ATPL you need to do a license conversion, so email transport Canada for that info. Next, only air canada requires a degree, no other airline or company in Canada does, so that info is not quite accurate. Also, there are a ton of aviation colleges in Canada, what exactly don’t you like about them? If you are a licensed pilots, you don’t need an aviation college.

Thank you.

[@AviatorInspirations]

There are no specific grade requirements to become a pilot, flight schools don’t look at grades, you just show up, pay money, and learn to fly. If you want to go to a flight college, they do look at grades to thin out the competition. If you do regular flight training and post secondary on your own, then of course grades matter to enter a good university and study something useful in life like business, which is something everyone I think needs, a post secondary diploma in a useful and practical field (business, entrepreneur, etc). Always focus on good grades to give you options in life later and you won’t get stuck if you need to change course plans or career

[@AviatorInspirations]

If you are wanting to seriously pursue this profession, start with my playlist Learn to Fly kzbin.info/aero/PLy8Rb6qM39MRvxPTk9ySOI4uibuGhYazh. Then I would find a local flight school and go for a familiarization flight.

[@AviatorInspirations]

You can do both. I went to school for aircraft maintenance while I was learning to fly, just so I could have a diploma. So go to college for a diploma or degree, and do flight training at the same time on weekends or days you don’t have school. I started flying at 16, so you don’t have to wait until you graduate high school

Hi I am a 29 years old Egyptian pharmacist have a long term goal to work for a major airline in the US (delta). so I decided to take the fast track 2 year program of ATP flight school. but my main concern is that I have a 5 year degree in pharmacy here in Egypt and it needs to be equalized first to the American one to work as a pharmacist in the US.I heard that I will not be able to wok for a major airline like delta without a minimum of 4 year university degree which I have but it is from cairo.So my main question is should I equalise this degree first to work as a commercial pilot for major airlines? .what worth noting is that the process of transforming this degree to the American one is a difficult and long process full of exams then I will not use the degee itself except for being hired by delta!! if any one just tell that they will accept the egyption one, I will be more than happy😊

[@AviatorInspirations]

That’s a challenging question! I am not familiar with US airlines or what degrees they need to work for them. In Canada you don’t need one, only air canada prefers one. Many people find it difficult to convert their degrees in North America, and unfortunately there is no easy way, you have to write the exams and almost repeat the schooling. Is it worth it? That’s up to you! First clarify which airlines for sure require a degree, and which ones don’t. Perhaps it’s easier finding an airline that doesn’t require a degree. You can always email all the recruitment departments and maybe get an answer if they will accept the Egyptian degree or not. Good luck!
