Great job, Garrett. I enjoy watching your channel because you come across genuine and likeable in your videos. I will be sure to pass on what I learn to a kid I know who wants to become a pilot.

[@monrow11]

Great info Garrett! The legacy airlines put 16% in your 401k with no match. Not sure where the 6% match is from. If you make $200,000 they will put in 32,000$. You can put your own money in as well but they don’t match it. Goal would be to hit 55,000 or whatever is the current limit. 88 hours is easy to blow past with over time being double pay and taking extra reserve days. And I know at my airline the profit sharing check is “pensionable” as well. After you hit $55,000 in your 401k the airlines automatically put the 16% back into your straight paycheck as the IRS requires. It’s a great paying career after you get thru the years and years of hurdles. Right now it’s good. In about 7-10 years the new pilots will be in the regionals for a long time after hiring slows. You also need a college degree at the legacy airlines. So be careful you second career people. You will not make this kind of money unless you play the game and get a bachelors degree.

[@Rubin_Lopez]

One of them matches up to 6% I think it’s delta

[@jerrymtb988]

The airline life is the dream for me. As a truck driver who is on the road for 3 weeks and more straight, being a pilot at such a high hourly rate with way more days off is perfect. Except for the crazy checklists and studying 😟

Your videos will inspire a lot of people who wish to be in aviation industry, your videos make me dream to be one but not anymore, after seeing your videos, i wish one of my son will be a pilot but their going on different path and cannot afford it...lol. I'm sure you will inspire a lot of young one all over the world to dream to be like you.

[@thanosoftitan1875]

It is indeed a very lucrative career. I will say that I know a couple of pilots and they’ve felt the effects of what is considered a difficult life (e.g., multiple divorces, health issues, etc). There’s often a reason that wages for a job type are high. Hard to get folks to live that life. But if you can persevere, yes, you can retire well. I’m sure you’ll have that 4th stripe soon Garrett! 👌👌

[@flywithgarrett]

Mariajane Dugan thank you. I enjoy commercial aviation

[@DocPortland]

Just some IRS info on this topic: The individual IRS maximum 401K contribution limit is $19,000 for 2019. ... Your employer's maximum 401K contribution limit is entirely up to them - but the max on total contributions (employee plus employer) to your 401K is $56,000 in 2019 (or 100% of your salary, whichever is less). The important take-away... invest invest invest... start early!!!! It will be tomorrow and you will be 65!!!! Yes, it happens that fast!!!!

[@luke_5187]

Don’t say that

[@thomasreedy4751]

And that at most you can't put more than 56k into a 401k a year.

[@jcheck6]

And don't buy new cars like Garrett does. Worse investment you can make.

[@untaken1618]

Garrett, I really enjoy your videos. My granddaughter and I are traveling to MD next year. Wish you were the captain on our next flight...😁😁😁

[@josephmillraney1061]

What would you recommend to make our flight more enjoyable????

[@xXxSapphir3xXx]

Most match the percent you give. Instead of 6% of 10k, they'll say if you put 6% of your salary into your 401k we'll match that 6%. So on a $100,000/yr, you save 6% to your 401k, then the airline would match that 6k, giving you an additional 12k into your 401. You'd be crazy to not give the full match there, because you'll make enough without that 6k to live on and you'll set yourself up for a good retirement, and possibly an early retirement with continued investing into smart stocks. You could also use a money market account to increase your pay each month once you've managed to obtain a meaningful amount each month.

[@TheOxtrom]

Talking from experience here in portugal it costs about 60-70k to go to flight school and get a license it's expensive yeah but considering TAP pays in your first year 84k euros a year that means in just your first year you have already paid the cost of your license and now it's just profit which is pretty cool

[@zachrichards7302]

Great first video! Very informative. I have a question about doing a "side hustle" on top of working as a pilot? 88 hours a month is not a lot of work time, so I feel like you would have a ton of spare time to maybe start a business or do something else to make money? Is this true? Thanks!!

[@flywithgarrett]

Like I said, the 88 hours is simply door close to door open time. That does not include time away from home and such. But yes, many pilots do have side "hustles" to keep them busy on their free time.
