Becoming an Airline Pilot
The airline industry has been changing at a fast rate over the past few years. The days of a low starting pay are long gone. But, this came at an increased cost of reaching the cockpit in a jet.
We are here to help you along the way. There are many possible paths to take to reach your goals. With four jet type ratings and experience in three airlines, I am happy to guide you and answer questions along the way. Each airline has something to offer, and selecting one that fits your overall goal is important. Feel free to reach out!
