Nothing, a pilots license never expires, but your medical is what keeps your license valid and the company pays for your medical at the airline level. Small companies you pay for your own medical, it’s $150/year

Hey that’s awesome! From what I hear the CRI Route is the fastest, as flight schools can’t keep up because instructors keep getting scooped by the regionals. If you can find a caravan or 206 gig then great, otherwise I wouldn’t waste the time in limbo. Start work on the instructor rating, and if you find something then great, if not, start instructing👍🏻

[@bena6575]

hey! Right now I’m 16 and training for my PPL in Mesa, AZ and live in Phoenix (about a 20 min drive away.) I have two questions: Would it be a good idea after I get my CPL to become a flight instructor, or something of the sort, to get my hours in and get paid to finance my courses? And if I do end up eventually applying for a commercial airliner job, would some states be more likely to accept someone as a pilot? or is it the same likelyhood all across the US? Because I am definitely willing to move somewhere else if it means I can become a pilot! Thanks✌🏻

[@AviatorInspirations]

All good questions! You still have a ways to go, so many things might change in the coming years. If you have the finances, then an instructor rating is great, you build knowledge, experience, hours and get paid for it! However, if you get your CPL with a multi-IFR and can get a caravan or Navajo job, flying mail or cargo or passengers, then take it. Basically whoever gives you a job first. Once you enter the industry then you will see at what stage the regionals are, and how desperate or not they are. Right now it’s a pilot shortage, in 5yrs who knows. You will definitely have to move lol it all depends how far!

Should I practice interviewing with airlines that I really don't want to work for before I even send a resume to my desired organization(s)?

What are your opinions on Aviation programs by Jazz, Porter and Air Georgian?

[@AviatorInspirations]

They are fine as long as you are realistic with your expectations and understand who benefits from them. The regionals are in a shortage and need these programs to feed pilots through. However, they only offer you an interview with these companies, not an actual job, and only a couple people get selected for the job. So, if you are ok paying a premium for a chance at a straight in job at a regional then that’s fine. You also have to consider that you’re probably going to have to rent a 172 because you won’t have the PIC hours to get your ATPL. Personally, I would get your licenses as cheap and fast as possible, get your first 1000hrs and the regionals will hire you anyway. Hope this helps!

I think having a degree is very good, as it will help you at the airline level, or if you decide to fly in the US as most legacy carriers require a degree. For a first job however it will not help, as entry level companies mainly want to see a good attitude, work ethic, and whether you have a level head and make good decisions.

[@AviatorInspirations]

What’s your definition of good? Flight schools offer employment based on an individual case by case scenario, so it’s going to be difficult getting a school to guarantee you a job before you start training with them. If they do, then they might be desperate (then you should question why nobody will teach there) or they are false advertising just to get you to sign up. At the end of the day, you will have to do the work and start phoning school by school until you get some results.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Hello Aman! It’s hard to predict your job prospects, there are jobs, but you must work hard and find them and be willing to move. Yes an instructor rating can help get you a job closer to where you live, and instructors are also in high demand right now, so it’s definitely something you should explore. Ask the school if they can hire you if you get your instructor rating with them, if not, ask another school until you find one that does. Are you an international student?

Aviator Inspirations Yes I’m from India But I’ll be on strict visa which means even after getting instructor rating I think I might not able to take advantage for instructor rating or complete enough hours.

Does anyone know if in order to become a commercial pilot, do you need a college degree? If so, what majors would you say would be best? I've heard that you can major in anything but, I feel like that's false and that certain companies look for certain qualifications when hiring. Is that true?

[@AviatorInspirations]

Hi Brianna! To answer the first question, the answer is actually no, you don’t need a college degree to be a commercial pilot. The only major in Canada that requires post secondary is air canada, for now, depending on the pilot shortage and how desperate they will need pilots. Second, yes your degree or diploma can be in anything, my personal recommendation would be to do it in something useful like business, because you can apply those skill later in your career. Thirdly, look through my learn to fly playlist to understand the pilot career progression, and maybe you already know this, but after getting licensed you won’t be going to a regional or main airline, you will spend 2-3yrs flying small aircraft. Hope this helps!

Nothing is easy in aviation, so that shouldn’t be the first question. The first question is what country can you get a student visa for, and do you have the finances to afford to train there? Your options are Europe, America, and Canada. For jobs, America is always #1 because they have many more airlines to choose from

Because I don't want to wait too long ...thx

[@AviatorInspirations]

First I would not get into aviation for the money! Check out my video about pilot pay. Ask yourself if the lifestyle, being away from home and flying are what you really enjoy. I know your young and it’s hard to make that realization. Getting the first job is always the hardest, no amount of money will guarantee you a job, and you will have to work hard, and move to different towns to build hours and experience. There are no short cuts. That’s the path in North America. If you can get into a cadet program in Europe, then you will fly a jet right away, so it all depends where you want to live and fly and which countries license you want to hold. Each country has their own pilots license

[@richa4425]

Always have a back up plan because what if you get injured. A friend of mine was a jet pilot and got a sports injury and ended up having to work at Costco because he got a bad hit to the head in a rugby game. Get your parents to pay for your flight training but have a backup plan. Also your interests might change as you get older so know that as well.

A ramp job is loading bags, fueling aircraft, any other miscellaneous jobs.

Currently during our pilot shortage, I don’t recommend anyone get a ramp job. Instead become a flight instructor, or find a remote cargo job on a C206. Air ambulance is also an option but FO’s usually need 500hrs.

Great question! I’ll put that on my video list👍🏻 basically you need a Category 1 Medical in Canada and they check your eyes, hearing, blood pressure, and heart. You don’t have to be in perfect shape, so most people will pass no problem

[@rambabusah7622]

But in India same check up

[@AviatorInspirations]

It should be if they are following the ICAO standards.

[@avinashloknauth2233]

I am looking for a pilot job plz help

[@AviatorInspirations]

Follow the tips in the video👍🏻. Flight instructing is also an option

[@guana2440]

Can you work internationally with a canadian cpl + required hours? let's say in Morocco or mexico or some country

[@AviatorInspirations]

Only if the airplane you are flying is Canadian registered. If it’s not, then no you can’t, you need the pilots license for that particular country

[@guana2440]

I mean with an airline And can you do a conversion of the license?

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes even with the airline this rule applies. A Canadian license is only good in Canada or Canadian registered aircraft operated abroad. That’s correct, you would have to do a license conversion 👍🏻

[@guana2440]

And how much does it cost to convert the license of you have any idea?

[@AviatorInspirations]

I don’t have exact numbers, but at least several thousand because you have to write their exams usually, and pass a flight test. At least that’s how it works if you want to convert to FAA license for example.

I live in Yellowknife

[@AviatorInspirations]

Beautiful place 👌🏻 spent lots of time up there. Are you flying in Yellowknife?

[@janesa5097]

maybe one more question: If one has a sensible stomach, not in the sense of flight turbulences, rather in relation to healthy alimentation. Do you always have to eat out in hotels, Restaurants or do you find time during your work schedule to cook on your own here and there ? I assume you get served the first class food/meal during the flight. Never bought a 1st class ticket. Is the food good or rather "eatable" on the long run. I know it is a wired question but for some people extremely important. Best regards, Janes

[@AviatorInspirations]

It's hard to speak for all the airline foods out there, of course some are better than others, but its 100% up to you. Most people pack their own food either pre-cooked or microwavable, as cooking in hotels is impossible, and eating out can get expensive. Of course you can find a balance and whats open depending on what time you arrive, but its hard to say what will work for you. There are many flight crews with dietary restrictions that make it work. Good luck!

[@janesa5097]

so nice I got your view on this. Thanks a lot ! Probably a good decision for me not to go down the pilot path. I just hate bad food and would be bothered by organizing and consuming pre cooked food or the limitations of a hotel restaurant menu. Med school will do :-)

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes life on the road can be challenging! However, there are lots of pilots and FA’s that are vegan, gluten free etc, and they make it work. Great questions and glad I could help!

[@janesa5097]

-> there are lots of pilots and FA’s that are vegan, gluten free etc, and they make it work. Haha, really ? I imagine the logistics for a gluten free person must be quite a burden in that job. I think one really needs to love the role and the perks that come with it in order to take the inconveniences of a non existing kitchen in some hotel room or an ever changing range of restaurants at what ever venue the airline sends one to. I spoke with the hiring manager of Lufthansa city lines here in good old Germany and was told that they would manage it most of the time to get their pilots home after every workday. That matches your statement on this point. Wish you many more good flights and a decent pension plan with your airline :-)

How can i convert my foreign pilot license to american pilot license?

[@AviatorInspirations]

You have to contact the FAA and find out what their process is for whatever country you’re converting from

[@planeur10]

Hi and thanks for your great video. I have scheduled to come next month in Canada to visit school as I am an international student. Is it easier to get a entry in compagny just after a CPL/IR/ME knowing that I have already done 300 hours of gliding in France ? Thanks !

[@AviatorInspirations]

Yes, typically a company wants a pilot to have completed all his licenses, regardless of hours, before considering them for a job.

[@aMnezia]

having some gliding hours might help a tiny bit, but what the recruiters want is the turboprop or turbofan hours (depending on the aircraft). Of course, unless they are recruiting low hours (ab initio) but then again u need some connections to get in. what I recommend you to do is join a cadet program.

[@AviatorInspirations]

In Canada we do not have cadet programs

[@Abhinav-uu8hp]

Heyy, what kind of jobs are available for CPL holders in Canada fresh out of flight school with those 200 hours?

[@AviatorInspirations]

The main jobs are dispatch/206 pilot in northern communities, caravan cargo/passenger, flight instructing, and small corporate charter companies (but they fly very little so not really recommended as an entry level job).

[@marcmbeke9604]

Yep yr video is good but subjects do l need to study to become a pilot am in a high school please help mi

[@AviatorInspirations]

In Canada there are no specific subjects, you just need a high school diploma to start. If you want to join an aviation college or do any other post secondary education, then having high marks is important, and math of course is a necessary subject.

[@AviatorInspirations]

Haha pretty much! 😂

[@jamesburns2232]

Getting someone to pay you for flying is not a job for the timid. Airlines are looking at you to eventually make Captain. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you have to be an asshole. Really good pilots will soon be forgotten. If you are marginal, but an asshole, people will remember you for a long time. There is a reason why Stan-Eval pilots wear black hats.
