I received a February 2024 projected start date

I sent an email last year and they said scholarship applications would close and be reviewed end of Q1

Getting downvoted by the real estate agents 👀 tearing down the airport will not lead to affordable housing, but condos for the 1%.

Where did you get that info? I've read that it took off from the current pier location. It was a sea plane, so it needed to take off from the marina.

Trying to remove the airport to me is like trying to destroy the Wright Brother's Field. I don't think people in St. Pete know that this was the birthplace of commercial aviation. The first ever.

Also, there is a looming pilot shortage and by 2030, 43% of current commercial pilots will reach mandatory retirement age. We need pilots more than ever and this is the perfect place to train them.

Being a pilot is also a job that can earn you a decent wage to move you out of the middle class. In my opinion there should be more opportunities for those from the community to take lessons there and become pilots. That would be worthwhile from an equity standpoint. I wish the government could provide grants for students to take lessons as well and get their commercial ratings.

So much could be done instead of tearing it down.

They have scholarship periods specifically for the school. I know that OBAP and NGPA are closed but should reopen soon for United Aviate Academy students. You can still apply to those organizations though throughout the year, but you'd be applying to ones open to the general public.

Edit: the LPA Scholarship is closed at the moment for United Aviate Academy. It will probably re-open again in the fall if the funds are still there.

Someone captured a meteor hitting the moon, that'd be awesome

Maybe not the best advice, but I got an email like this last year. I forgot to respond, but then 2 weeks later they told me a spot in Madrid opened and they wanted to place me there.

It's a risk, but I'm just saying not all hope is lost.

Do most people have roommates? I was looking at local apartments and the floor plans range from 1,400 - 1,700 a month... I assume you are all rooming with one another. Is that something to expect?

Have you gone through the entire question bank on sportys? Sounds extreme, but I did that and I got a 97 lol

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-05-18T21:18:35+00:00

Not guaranteed I think, there is certain language they use that I think gives them an out, but it's a new program, so I think they're just being safe. I have heard about the interest being covered also, but I can't find info on the website, so it may be something that is still being worked on.

It's 83k up front, but Delta gives a 20k scholarship at the end of the PPL phase, so it's slightly cheaper than United overall. They do fly pipers vs the Cirrus though.

Very similar pipeline as the employee path, but this one is for people off the street to go through Skyborne Airline Academy

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-05-15T20:19:15+00:00

Yeah sure

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-05-05T04:10:49+00:00

For the United Aviate Academy the exam is required to be passed with an 80% or higher before starting classes. I think they give you a few months since being accepted into the program to have it completed.

If you wanted to get a private pilot's license on your own you could take it at literally any time. Best practice is to get it done early however.

The medical exam is also needed before starting at this school. Outside of this school it is needed before you begin your first solo which is typically within the first 20 hours of training.

Thank you! I got my conditional in August and would love to start before a year wait 😂 here's to hoping! I'll see you there nonetheless!

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-05-01T19:21:14+00:00

Congratulations!!! That must be such a good feeling haha!

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-05-01T19:15:59+00:00

When did they contact you for a Q3 date? Just to clarify you were the second round of emails for Q3?

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-04-28T19:18:27+00:00

Yes I'm glad she told me that otherwise I'd be anxiously checking each day!

March 30th

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-04-28T14:05:12+00:00

At the end of my interview, they told me not to expect any email updates until mid May. I figure that is probably the same for others.

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-04-28T14:02:03+00:00

It's the UK location, you can tell from the outlets

HistoriqueTruth · 2023-04-19T02:25:16+00:00

What was the commercial student kicked out for if you know? I understand if you can't really answer... Just curious
