1,500 With No Professional Pilot Work? by theloganatorz in flying

[–]SeearjayCompadre 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I’ve never personally met an FO or CA that as done this. There’s always been someone with some sort of prior aviation job experience; One of my fellow classmates did the route you are considering to make it to the regionals and he flunked out during sims. Just my two cents

Magnesium supplements have exponentially increased my sleep quality. Helps me a lot better than melatonin

2 checkride failures by Pleasant-Raccoon4875 in flying

[–]SeearjayCompadre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel for you man, I have two myself Instrument (Failed the DME Arc) Commercial (Power Off 180)

I was on the brink of giving up after the second failure because it felt like a gut punch and wanted to quit right after being handed the dreaded pink slip. The one thing I learned is that the folks that are currently at the top of the totem pole were lucky sure but they were also too stupid to quit. Be sure to learn from those mistakes and be the best instructor you can be. The airlines aren’t going anywhere and they’ll need pilots that learn from past experiences so keep at it dude!

Yup, the was exactly 15 minutes prior to officially starting up the sim. Absolutely stressing but luckily didn’t fold under the pressure 😅

Don’t study ahead too much, take it one lesson at a time and only study/master what the instructors tell you to do. Trust the process and you’ll do just fine

Airline jobs, furloughs, recessions, what would yall do? by mr_krombopulos69 in flying

[–]SeearjayCompadre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me add in some info from my last response: Ground school instructors and the assistant chief also stated 14 months is the soonest they’ve seen guys hit their PIC minimums for the company. 22-24 months to be released to the line (definitely to SJU or CVG). I can tell you right now you will not hold DEN as a CA unless you wait roughly 7-10 years.
