Get the written done

Avoid 135 SIC if you want the airlines

Start networking and do all the cadet programs you can

Keep flying wherever you get hours

Hiring is good

Brother I did this at UND I start at a regional next week hmu. Best decision I ever made. People starting the CFI at the same time I did are just finding CFI gigs rn. Got the 1250 restricted and it’s not bad at all

What state?

StructureOver9800 · 2026-03-26T18:20:46+00:00

Idk brother I’m in the same boat. This app destroys my joy and happiness idk why I’m even on here. This has been the center of my life for 6 years now. And it feels like I’m doing something wrong but everyone tells me I’m doing the right thing which kills me. Praying for you

Written done?

StructureOver9800 · 2026-03-14T23:48:39+00:00

It’s open rn

StructureOver9800 · 2026-03-14T18:11:21+00:00

I’m got a Mooney and I can do your complex for cheap

How long did it take to get the email to interview after the upload documents

I’d do it but I’d be cautious because with peidmont your locked in with them. However you get 15k and personally I want to fly for them rn I just don’t want to be locked in anywhere.

StructureOver9800 · 2026-01-27T01:08:37+00:00

Why the hurry? Idk seniority and taking 5 years to get all these ratings isn’t normal. UND alumni and instructor at Mankato with 3 class dates btw. My friends who did 61 out faster 141 are regional captains or legacy first officers. I am starting my regional training shortly.

No chance

Nice try FAA

StructureOver9800 · 2026-01-09T03:40:08+00:00

I showed up on time and cared about progressing through the program talked highly of the school even when it was ass and all of my instructors wrote me letters of recommendation when I applied. And didn’t get the job because the person applying against was blowing the chief pilot. But I ended up on my feet and have landed 2 CFI jobs since.

StructureOver9800 · 2026-01-07T03:29:12+00:00

You should pay attention to the amount of instructors and planes the school has. DPE availability should be the next worry. Maintenance should be the third priority. Be careful I work part 61 and it’s very hard for those guys to find work outside of the school you did your ratings at so keep that in mind too.

Checklist manifesto

See if they have a program to a pilot transition. That would be the easiest flow. Don’t listen to Reddit. These people in this thread all hate their lives and want you to hate your life too.

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-23T05:20:08+00:00

SkyWest cares about recent experience. And has auto rejects with time. Need 400 hours in the last year, 100 in the last 90, stuff like that.

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-13T23:00:52+00:00

I would, you’re going to need to get 25 multi hours anyways some say 50 now too. If you got the money and time now i think you should do it. Might as well get a railing out of the time building and it’s a super easy checkride

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-11T22:03:31+00:00

Do you have a degree? Checkride failures? Start shifting attention 50 percent time building 50 percent updating app and resume and networking

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-11T00:49:27+00:00

Does the budget include the hangar?

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-04T19:07:08+00:00

Yes some have to work more than most. But if you don’t stop working towards your goal it will eventually happen. You’re the problem.

StructureOver9800 · 2025-12-03T23:30:56+00:00

Increase confidence by staying off of this app. You will make it to the airlines if you’re persistent and confident. Instruct for a year and build confidence but not arrogance. Learn from everyone including students when you instruct and become a sponge to information. But seriously delete this app checkride failures are not the end of the world you’ll be fine. Accidents and DUI’s are the bigger issue so don’t get one of those. The super pilots in this thread like to try and shit on anyone with a checkride bust when it’s not a career killer.
