It certainly can’t hurt! Pathways are always great to have! I consider it career insurance.

During 2022-2023 it was possible due to the shortage of qualified pilots, however I believe most of the 135 hiring has dried up. 121 time will always be the gold standard.

Thank you so much!

I’m not positive and I can’t speak on behalf of UAL, however I believe most airlines take religious concerns on a case by case scenario. That is all I know. Sorry I can’t be of better help.

@@PilotPulseChannel I see, Thanks for responding it means a lot. And please if you have any update for the Legacy by this to pick please make a video about it. Im sure many pilots waiting such a news from airliners.

Once reaching the ability to work in the USA, you will need to attain an FAA ATP/multi engine land certificate. Then you can apply to USA air carriers. Your previous time won’t qualify you for a captain position but you can get hired as an FO, then after 1000 hours in the right seat, you will be eligible to upgrade.

@@PilotPulseChannel thanks, I understand that. I am really enquiring as to wether there are any short cuts such as operators that are so keen to get experienced people in that they are willing to offer enhanced T&Cs to suitably qualified pilots as they work to get the 1000 hours as an FO. Basically is any company paying FOs a captains salary if they are already high on hours and only really need the 1000 of 121 hours.

Very true, however due to it being so speculative, I just decided to omit that and just use the base case scenario.

You enter a time building phase until reaching 1000-1500 total hours then apply to regional airlines.

Thank you!!! Starting small and growing responsibly!

I believe this to be very true. There are still several years of great pilot hiring left in this decade, just not in the next 6-9 months.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the kind words. I’m doing my best to increase my upload tempo.

Great perspective!

Thanks Alex!

I’ve been looking into it but it’s actually very difficult to find this data for the regionals since their retirement data is not posted. That leaves the attrition numbers completely to speculation and lacks creditability, thus I’ve been shying away from trying to do it.

Yes I absolutely believe you have all the chances in the world of becoming a United pilot and Captain if that’s your goal especially in the current environment. It’s very possible with hard work, dedication and loads of commitment and self motivation . I strongly encourage you to pursue it if it’s truly a dream. Just don’t do it for the money or you will never make It, only to find yourself giving up and much poorer following training.

It is my understanding that training (once accepted) should be completed by only aviate affiliate school. I could be wrong but thats my understanding and I feel very confident in that. I would suggest extreme caution when walking on the bounds of the rules, because a candidate wont find themselves going through the final review board until all requirements are met with 2200+ hours at an affiliate regional and waiting to get a class date at UAL. Only then would it be discovered that said person has been ineligible since they took their commercial, thus preventing them from being accepting to UAL.

@@PilotPulseChannel Thank you! Will let her know!

It seems that this is the place we are “landing”. Different times than that of 2022-2023 but it emphasizes the importance of experience and professional growth.

It sounds to me like you are competitive as it sits. Competitive right now looks like (on an average basis) 1000+ total turbine pic time or 2000 turbine time. Most important thing since you are retired is that your currency is decent. Like 100 hours in the last 12 months.

@PilotPulseChannel Many thanks. I'm at ~1125 mil hours (turbine multi) now and ~425 B737 121 time... but only ~275 hours of KC135 (B707) PIC.

Good as long as no other offenses within last 10 years and have shown professional growth since the occurrence. This includes speeding tickets (ability to follow directions when nobody is watching)

“Nothing good happens fast”

I would t necessarily say it’s over but times are definitely about to become more competitive.

Not true at all. The end of the decade is going to be a turning point for people looking for a career. Get in now while the going is good. But if you’re looking for an excuse to not try to get into professional aviation you will always find one.

Sure did!

I’m glad this helped you map things out! I would say being a “glass half full person” if I were advising my family member, I would say plan on average, middle of the road in my “nominal” progression. I don’t foresee furloughs a long way out but certainly, planning for worst case scenario is always the safest and anything more than that is just a free-bee.

Always looks good, but be careful. Having a professional organization and not actually doing anything meaningful besides paying the dues actually looks really bad. Just my .02

@@PilotPulseChannel oh I believe that. I am latino myself - this is going to be a lifelong thing for me.

Thanks so much for the feedback!! I have some good ideas for the future so be sure to stay tuned and I’ll be sure to keep the updates coming and cover different topics along the way. Good luck with your journey, and congratulations on your success so far! I always tell people, the hardest part of any challenge (and especially in aviation) is starting and you are well on your way!

I’ll certainly add these to the list!!

Do lots and lots of research. Period.

5 to 40 years is an all encompassing age range designed to inform people of all ages.

My now 24 year old went to the same airline at 23. I am still amazed at his accomplishments considering his attitude at 15 years old. My apologies for bragging a bit, but sometimes I can’t help myself. 😊

I’m glad this was helpful for you! Stay tuned for more like it in the future!

@@PilotPulseChannelI am a retired 777 guy so I had a resonable idea about seniority. Your extensive work is particularly helpful to those deciding to become pilots and why it is important to just get it done. Great to see the growth at United.

Congrats on all your successes! Might be seeing you in the 737 soon 👀. Competitive is +1000 turbine PIC, with around 5,000 TT as an average from what I’m seeing but that does vary up and down circumstantially so anything is possible. I’m. It quite sure how the plans will develop but just assuming supply/demand, as we need more and more pilots with concurrence of the deliveries, it seems possible that those minimums can drop, but if nobody else in the industry is hiring, it could continue going up. It’s a very economics based answer and I’m certainly not an economist, haha. I would say, you won’t know if you made the right decision or not until you find yourself at the dream job. I would say as of now it makes no difference. The only thing that concerns me is how long it may take you to get 1000 Turbine PIC in the long run where you could (in most cases) get turbine PIC much faster traditionally at a regional, or Aviate partner. However, your deck cards are pretty much set in stone at this point so I wouldn’t waste your time looking back. Just make the best of your current situation and do everything you can to continue growing and building upon your career. Hope to see you across the deck one day! Best of luck!

@@PilotPulseChannel luckily junior upgrade is 1 year and 4 months and with 42 aircraft to be delivered next year, I think it’ll continue to drop. Thanks for the response.

Not true. There are several regionals still hiring. Apply to them all!

Currently as it stands, UAL has faster progression by retirements after 2027 and a much larger order book than AA, the next closest. DL isn’t showing much signs of growth in the future. UAL is definitely the best place to be by career progression and and growth to offer the fastest career progression as it currently stands. That’s not me being biased, it’s based on data.

@jamesdean9957 Your absolutely correct, but life getting in the way is exactly that, its life. You will face challenges weather you're a cab driver, airline pilot or CEO so those things didn't really factor in for me. Taxes will always be taken as well, such is life. If you're making money, your paying taxes and I agree, I hate paying 55-60% taxes but its a fact of life, and I dont think that anyone with a social security would be surprised about being taxed alot for making good money. Not going to disagree either that hiring minimums have dropped significantly in the past couple decades but theres much momentum currently for someone to be able to start flight training and pursue this profession and should (in theory) be able to find themself at a Legacy with much less resistance than your personal example, but now I'll quote myself from this video "the Titanic was unsinkable". The only point I hoped to convey is that the risk to reward ratio is much much lower than the 2000's and with that, theres no reward with no risk. Thanks for the comment! I enjoyed reading your perspective and I don't disagree with anything you said. It actually gave me an idea for a future video too... "How much money will you pay in taxes during an airline career". But personally, I'm not sure I'm ready to know the answer! Haha!

@@PilotPulseChannel I appreciate the research you do when putting the videos together. It is keeping an old dog’s ear to the rail. Tell em to avoid the forums. That is a dark and dirty place.

@@jamesdean9957 ironically, this video ended up there 🤣

​@@PilotPulseChannelpilots pay 55-60% taxes in the US?

I agree with you that being behind those 5,000-6,000 pilots can appear daunting. However, that cannot be unchanged nor do I believe that should be looked at as a reason to not pursue the career because yes, that many pilots is a large number, but as a percentage of the total pilot group after 10 more years of expected growth, its a very small percentage and seniority percentage is what matters for progression. You can gain seniority much faster through growth than through natural retirement attrition, so for the last few years it has been incredible. Also, with the 756 Captain situation, yes some dont desire it, but if you dont want it, you dont have to take it and thats the beautiful thing about this industry. Once your in it everything is a choice, "to each, their own" . I also agree that basing career growth from airline growth is never certain and I'll quote myself from the video "The Titanic was unsinkable". But, if you have to put all your eggs in one basket and bet everything on where to go? I'd put my bets on the growing airline since I dont consider myself an economist or accountant. Every man's gotta know his limitations and definitely know mine. Thanks for the comments! I Enjoy the discussion and also enjoy hearing others opinions. Safe flying!!

@@PilotPulseChannel I agree. If I was a new, looking to make the leap to mainline, i'd still go with a legacy carrier that fits primarily with where you want to live. Beyond that, the airlines that have a clear and rational path towards growth would come second.. but that's just my opinion. Let's keep in mind that the hiring wave we've experienced in the last few years has been the biggest in the history of this industry. This is a relatively new phenomenon to have folks climb the seniority latter behind 5,000 people for the majority of the career. If the United Next growth projections happen SUCCESSFULLY, then it'll work out. success is a big maybe for a variety of reasons...

I would say that by starting at Goodyear in September, making it to UAL by 2028 isn't impossible but it may be challenging to pull off by then. You're assuming it will take 1.5 years to complete the program then 2.5 years to get your 1500 hours and then give 2700 hours to a partner regional. I like to say, "Aim high and miss but never aim low and hit the target". Also, go in with reasonable expectations. I say, 1.5 years to get the program completion, 1.5 years to get 1500 hours (assuming 100 hours per month of time building), then about 4-5 years to complete 2700 hours at a partner regional. Use that number then do everything in your power to beat yourself at your own race. Good luck with your journey!! -Aaron

Thanks Ben!

Glad it was helpful!

No link, but please feel free to screen-shot whatever you like from the video.

Thank you!! I’m glad it was helpful!!

Congrats on all of your success!! Keep plugging away!

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate the feedback!

You have done the hardest part now, which is starting! Congrats to you and keep pushing forward. I’ve hired people that are 63 so you have so much career left! Good luck!!

Thanks Jacob! See you in the friendly skies!

Imagine you’re sitting down for your last check ride. That is the level of knowledge that we expect you to have. Also, be ready to answer some tell me about a time questions.

@@PilotPulseChannel thank you!

I will be honest, Im not completely sure what the legal requirements are for dual citizenship. However, If you possess an ability to work in the US without sponsorship, then all of your flight time in AUS should count towards flight time in the US. Total Turbine time and PIC turbine time are essential right now in the US at any airline. I highly recommend getting some PIC Turbine Time to better your chances! Good luck!

Not true at all. Far from true.
