The Journey To Becoming An Airline Pilot

[@Lyxtra]

I start flight school next spring, I've been working out for 2 years now and have just started running. Good luck to anyone on their flight or fitness journey!

[@Joeymiuccio]

Keep it up. Love this comment! Let’s all keep crushing it 💪🏼

That’s crazy I start next spring too I’m hype

[@literalnobody7921]

You and me both friend, wish you the best.

what flight school did you choose?

[@Mess447]

Which flight school did u choose?

[@charlieedgar2646]

In the middle of my CFI rating in Canada right now, excited to start making money as a pilot. For all the student pilots out there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

[@castlejustin]

Sick. I’m a FI in Canada. Getting paid to fly makes it hard to complain.

[@davede1999]

Where do you guys instruct? I’m looking to start my flight training again.

[@Wizzzkhalifa]

What’s FI and CFI

[@castlejustin]

@@Wizzzkhalifa Flight Instructor, CFI the states use as certified flight instructor so anyone with the instructor rating. But in Canada CFI is Chief Flight instructor aka “the boss”.

I work as a ramp agent and my coworker just got hired at Wizzair i showed him this and he wishes you the best!

[@rockingjunior]

Hey Joey. I served in the Army for 10 years now. I'm exiting in a few months. I've been watching all your videos since last year. I really appreciate all your work to clarify everything in the aviation industry. I start my training at a 141 school soon. Your videos have really helped me create a plan during this stressful transition. Thanks for all the tips and positivity.

[@nav_vv]

are you using your gi bill ?

[@Joeymiuccio]

Ayy thanks so much. Happy to help and good luck in your journey ✈️. Thanks for your service

[@rockingjunior]

@@nav_vv not for the PPL. For everything after yes. And using VR/E to complete more hours throughout the year.

[@Hikingnhell]

@@rockingjuniorhow much is it going to cost you if you don’t mind me asking I’m about to get out of the army and want to use my benefits to go to flight school

[@rockingjunior]

@@Hikingnhell about $15k out of pocket for PPL. The rest will be covered by GI Bill. VR&E (I'm claiming 20% disability) will cover the rest of the hours that get capped off in the calendar year.

Im currently 18 from the uk. I have always wanted to become a commercial pilot since a young kid. Im hoping to get my PPL very soon and honestly your videos are very motivating! Thank you.

[@freshpotatolikesaviation]

This is very nice! This is very rare to see a pilot explaining in detail how they became a pilot. I hope to become a pilot in the future :D Always fly safe! 🙏

I had explored LOTS of flight schools, including Skyborne, but MFT was by far the most professional and really has their stuff together! Moved down here from Syracuse, NY, and your videos have given me added peace of mind about my decision to go with MFT. Congrats on your accomplishments in your aviation (and FITNESS) journey! Great stuff.

[@benvanderbok6092]

That's the dream! The main concern is balancing Flight School and College. I have my PPL, working on IFR, but college is ramping up and it's a challenge to stay on top of things in both worlds. I've also been lifting consistently for 6 years and I'm not willing to sacrifice time in the gym.

How do you know where your base will be when you apply at an airline? Ive heard some people might be based in another city and state but they'll fly there from their home city, get a hotel and wait to see if they get the call. Is this normal?

[@Joeymiuccio]

Look up the airline and see what pilot bases they have. When you get in training you get to ask for the one you want and based on seniority you’ll eventually get it

[@tactman8414]

Hey Joey, I am 14 years old and have been flying across the country with my parents for 13 and 1/2 years. I have been in love with aviation for as long as I can remember.

[@tylerb1027]

Unless you’re going to be at minimums from private to commercial, part 141 isn’t worth it IMO. Extra cost for stage checks, and waiting for them is a progress killer. Plus I read the horror stories of some 141 programs holding people back over very silly things. Nickel and dime them for as much money as possible. I did 61 PPL, 141 IRA, 61 commercial. Time building for 61 is great experience to a CRM environment and you can explore. Plus you split cost, Cheapest hours you’re going to get. 55 hours of dual plus plane rental in 141 commercial killed the deal for me. Saved me about $9k going back and building hours for 61. I quit my career, moved my family to a different state and went all in on training. Still grinding everyday to keep moving forward! Best of luck to everyone out there!

[@derekcfi]

This is great for people who are able to manage their own training. I have seen the bad side of 61 where students managing themselves fail to understand the requirements and end up repeating flights.
