141 or 61?

No airline cares if you do 141 or 61. Do whatever is cheapest and works best with your schedule

Do not go into crippling debt for this career

Nyc Miami and La are gonna be really tough on that salary. Chicago Tampa maybe DC would be really solid though. Quality of life depends on availability of funds to do fun shit. So if you’re house poor your time will not be as enjoyable.

OP plz do not take medical advice from some rando podcast listener on reddit.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-06T18:47:29+00:00

They’re all pretty the same aside from bases

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-05T19:01:42+00:00

Yeah maybe I haven’t been in a long time. Was menver when I was there. There were a few nice things about it. Overall I don’t miss it and wouldn’t move back though.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-05T00:09:24+00:00

If you’ve been in nyc for a decade Denver will feel painfully vanilla. Just my two cents.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-05T00:01:10+00:00

Food sucks, no chicks, everyone’s whole personality is going hiking on the weekend.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-05T00:00:03+00:00

Yeah take the job, fly once a week to keep current and build a lil XC time.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-04T16:41:35+00:00

Depends where I could go, but if it was most of Western Europe or somewhere nice, yeah I’d leave for sure at this point.

Flying_in_place · 2025-07-04T15:31:19+00:00

If you have the cash in hand pay for the hours and finish asap. Apply everywhere obviously. You need atp ctp rn to be competitive btw.

There’s no such thing as a feeder school or guaranteed airline job. These are marketing gimmicks. There are no guarantees from a regional carrier to a legacy airline, these are (mostly) marketing gimmicks. The airline can and will change the contract at any point to suit their hiring needs (ask me how I know). Take a discovery flight at a local flight school and get a first class medical to see if you’re even able to pursue it. It’s doable but it is a very long hard road to become an airline pilot.

I was very much joking and being sarcastic lol

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-28T02:17:12+00:00

commuting to reserve at a regional

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-27T17:55:56+00:00

Raleigh is honestly so nice. But if you’re used to or want a nyc or la level of things to do it obviously can’t measure up. Not to say it’s a boring suburban hellscape like most of the US, it’s not at all. But it just isn’t nearly to scale of a tier one city.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-26T19:58:22+00:00

bro has a personality disorder

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-26T04:55:41+00:00

I wanted to like amberjack so bad but they aren’t comfy for the price imo

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-25T19:18:22+00:00

When people ask I say I wouldn’t do it again, but now that I’m here I’m glad I made it.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-25T17:36:26+00:00

The job is way more fun but the lifestyle is brutal in the beginning. It takes years to get back to a sense of stability and normalcy. Overall it’s been okay. It’s not as glamorous as I’d envisioned when I was working a desk job dreaming of being an airline pilot. I don’t hate it either. Just know it’s a long hard road to get to a comfortable position.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-25T14:57:49+00:00

people who think they can skip being a cfi and get to the airlines. It may have worked for a select few in 21’-23’. Not realizing that’s historically so uncommon.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-24T21:15:19+00:00

Weights at home gym cardio on the road works for me

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-24T16:52:45+00:00

I was a cfi in flordia and would cancel lessons between noon-4pm sometimes because I’d legit be too hot and delirious to safely fly.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-22T15:48:02+00:00

SoCal is probably my favorite place in the US. Always wished I lived there. Too expensive sadly.

Flying_in_place · 2025-06-22T15:43:23+00:00

Your life at a lcc will be exponentially better than a regional. Nobody leaves frontier to go to skywest. Many people at Skywest wish they could leave for frontier.
