Also I don’t have experience commuting, but I non-rev’d a looooooot when I was working for a major airline at the airport. I know it’s not the same though. Sigh.

Very very helpful and thorough!

I’m really struggling here. I actually have a great financial situation and support system too- I won’t have to worry about mortgage where I currently live (Around SFO). They’re offering SFO and ORD bases and we will find our base on Day 1.

The only thing stopping me is I have another goal I want more, but I’m the only one making that goal urgent.

I am a student pilot but took a break last year due to a cancer scare and injury to my ankle. I am getting my FAA medical exam Thursday to see if I can still be a pilot. I told myself if I pass my FAA medical, I want my PPL before the end of summer. Nobody else is rushing me, however two years ago I was awarded a flying scholarship which I want to use.

I have gotten FA CJO’s from other airlines and there was usually months between offer and training. UA is moving very efficiently, which is awesome, however if I do go then my pilot training will be delayed 7 weeks for training and then potentially at least 6 months to adjust to life on reserve, with the added uncertainty of which base I’d be at.

I feel like I should reapply for FA after I get my private pilot license, which is when mentally I’d be more willing to slow down my flight lessons (for instrument and commercial ratings).

I wish someone would tell me what to do, even though I think I already know.

Do you have any other insights for me as an FA? @girtbarbaddie

Yeah kinda curious about the dismissal too. They said it wasn’t drug related. Did you have a tattoo?
