good luck
@@Jude-ns6os Thx mate!
@@anzestricelj Thank you my guy :)
How's the training going? You're enjoying it so far?
Hi Garrett! I’m a retired Air Force pilot and now a Southwest Airlines Captain. My sons are 15 & 16 years old and they want to fly for SWA also but the civilian route is so different from my military path. Your video was awesome to learn how the current system works to build time and ratings. Thanks so much brother!! I hope you come fly for us soon. 🇺🇸👍
Great advice Garrett, we all have regrets on decisions we’ve made, but learning from others helps tremendously. So props for sharing your knowledge and experience. Others will benefit!! 👊👍
I almost bought into Embry-Riddle because it seemed like THE school to go to for flight training and aviation, but I quickly realized that I had great other options as well! I’m at San Jose right now which I know isn’t as recognized and glorified as other aviation schools, but I love it! Plus the in-state tuition makes it much more affordable for me 😂. I just started flight training so I have a looonnnggg way to go but I’m already really excited about my future as a pilot
San jose shits on ERAU , west coast best coast out here. Youre at the right place
Embry-Riddle is good, but it is extremely expensive! If you can get the ratings cheaper, do it!
And how is it tho? Did you start from zero there? I’m trying to figure out what I have to do and what school to go to! I live in nyc but I’m willing to move anywhere just to get to a nice school
how's the pilot training right now @LizetteGallegos
Hahaa
Thanks Garret I’m so excited. I came across that ATP school the other day randomly in person. I thought I was gonna have to go to college. this is a sign from the heavens above. . Thanks for this video. May God bless you
Yes go on of course! 👍🏻 My older brother is Pilot too for 5 years and Ive graduated same as your degree! 😃 And i decided to become a pilot too. But first i must improve myself in English as soon as possible then training😍 I am from Turkey and Nice to meet you! Thanks for your suggestions 🙏🏻 I ll stay tune because sometimes i need to get motivated
I'm 5 lessons in on my ppl, starting medium level turns and circuits next up, can't wait to solo!! Thanks for the great video and motivation! Safe flying from Australia 😄🇦🇺
Im going to start researching into becoming a pilot and I will comeback to this video to remember this day and video! Thanks! And goodluck to myself!
Thank you Garrett. That video helped me a lot. I am working on getting a co-signer for my pre approval loan for ATP. I am like you in that I never really dreamed about being a pilot but I enjoyed watching planes.
can't wait to become a pilot 🤗 working 3 jobs to save up, thanks for the information 👏
You can do this! I am working a couple jobs as well saving up to get my private pilot's license. I have my student pilot certificate. I'm almost there!
Oh wow, such great effect Jayyy Jay. I'll pray on that for you. Wishing you the best bro 🙏🏾Safe flights 🛫✈️
Your hard work will pay off. Don't forget to pray 😊
Good Luck! I'm still at secondary school and I just want to be a pilot now for Qatar Airways:/
Peter Rajakanthan don’t you have to be a commercial pilot and then become a international pilot? Idk pls answer
Thank you so much, this video helped me out more than any other. I really appreciate the transparency that’s gonna help me pick the right path.
Thanks for taking the time to create these informative videos. Keep up the great work, Garret.
I am already a pilot
In xplanes lol
Same!
Thank God for you
Please pray for me
Thank you so much for your series! Knowledge has gone from zero to something! Every new video of yours is new knowledge! Kind Regards from South Africa 🌹🌹
Hi Garrett! This is such a very informative guide. I’ve really learned a lot and this ignites the fire inside me of wanting to become an Airline Pilot someday. Thank you so much! 🥳☺️
OMG🖤 How this shirt suits you maan!!!
Thank You Garrett, your video is really very motivational, it makes me dream bigger and follow my dreams. You are great!
so happy to hear that
I'm happy that where I'm from has piloting classes from kid 14 yrs it so cool using flight simulators and learning the basic knowledge
Awesome video, great information. Always fascinated by aviation and you have an obvious fascination and love for aviation. Godspeed, young man, I'm sure you'll have a great career.
Thank you so much for making this video Garrett, it was extremely informal and helpful!
After seeing your video , im unfollowing every other pilot , that i been learning from , the way talk and explain things just motivates me the most 💯
i’m 14 but my dream is to be a pilot, i’ll do anything to be one
Me too! I’m thinking of going to auburn because I want to be a delta pilot and they have a great pathway
Me three! I’m in middle school, and I live in nyc. So I thought get a feel of the mechanics of an aurcradt, so Aviation high school, and then hopefully Vaughn colllege, but things will not always go as planned
@@carahuang1640 man u go to middel School and have plan your life. respekt
@@aurasky518 im a junior in high school and still dont know shii abt wat imma do 😂
Me too brother, let's just hope that we can pursue this career!
That is a killer kitchen, love the warm lighting with that wood
Another great job Garrett! Keep it up!
Thanks!!
Soloing at 12 hours is hella impressive man. That’s a huge flex lol. I’m at 18 hours myself and still have a bit of work to do. I’m glad you decided to teach people about aviation
i have 1 hour ...am so jealous
I have a mild hearing loss in both ears but I hope I can still become a pilot in a couple years when I'm able to start taking classes 👍🏼
Hi Garrett! I'm new to your channel but I've been doing alot of research on becoming an airline pilot because that is the career I dream of having one day. I'm a little older, 33, but have money saved up and was wondering which direction to take to get to the airlines. It's funny because I was really thinking of going with ATP because they seem like the best and largest flight school nationwide, and they have several campuses near me. Your video may have just pushed me over the edge and I may pull the trigger on making a career change. Thanks for your content and hope you stay safe in these crazy times!
hey there, just curios ,
so have you joined ATP yet?
Great video. Awesome advise. I start Flight School in Australia in January.
Kids looking up at the sky sayin that’s what I want to do that’s me 😂
Wesley Lively haha me too lol
Csgo Moments same I’m in highschool and I’m really trying to get into a good school so I can be a pilot for airlines
Definitely was me!!
Awesome video , keep up the good work ! Love you heaps
Thanks man, you're top for presenting us this information!
Thank you soooo much for this channel I kinda wanted to be a pilot but now I really want to be a pilot
Next video on how ground school works for the airlines + how you find out what plane you will fly 👍
Yet another insightful video. It was refreshing to hear the path to becoming a pilot from a US point of view, especially given the concept of regional and mainstream (is that what they call it?) airlines. Care to shed any light on why the minimum amount of hours to join one of the major airlines is 1500?
Atp actually requires 60 hours of college credit prior to starting the school. I am currently looking into them. They will also allow a current college student to do their flex track program and schedule classes around their college schedule. Just some extra info you can pass along to your viewers. Love your content. Just stumbled across your channel.
any update on how ATP is going?
@@ddLoading i didnt end up going. I am using VA benefits. I opted to go to Texas Southern University. I start in September.
Can an international student get a job as a pilot in the USA after doing bachelors in aviation in USA?
How hard is it?
Hey Garrett, could you make a video about the costs of owning a small GA aircraft like Cessna to supplement your time building while being an instructor.
A great video, your sharing about how a pilot building time 👍👍👍
My current instructor now went to ATP. I haven't heard nothing but great stuff about it except for the cfi job you're suppose to get afterwards. Anyways great content man!!
Thank you for flying with one of the best airlines we appreciate your service
First of all you are so cute 😍
So I live in Martha’s Vineyard and I started to work at MVY 3 years ago as AO and GO for cape air and JB but I always dreamed to be a pilot. I decided start to study on UA-cam and find what and where I really need to start. And this video helped me a lot! Thank you
Reading female comments about how handsome this dude is makes me laugh. Just lets me know that whatever women say about men being creeps and pervs, it's all kinda BS. They're just like us. LOL!!!
That’s awesome man! I’m at Epic Flight Academy currently and I’m about to take my instrument checkride!
I flight instructed there!
I found this very helpful, I am currently in high school and wasn't that sure of what I wanted to do as a career. However i am now really considering becoming a pilot as I really love flying on a plane and finding out how to fly one is interesting.
Amina Khamari me too!
Same
Just wanna say that I love your and channel hope you keep pursuing UA-cam
here it is! thanks ❤
Thanks a lot!!! God bless you for the lessons you giving us. 🙏
ATP really isn't for everyone. They have an extremely fast paced learning system which makes it hard to learn and they also require an associates degree
Is it ATP or ATP CTP??
Could u pl share their link
Not true. Degrees not required at all!
No degree required. ATP for the ones who work hard.
@@ygjrry7847 2 year degree or private pilots license required now
@@Kalashniky Yupp, just found out. Now working towards my private pilots license!
Proud of you ❤️
Thank you Garrett, nice advice!
Great video. I'm thinking about making the jump from model airplanes to real ones. Thanks for all the info. Subscribed!
My husband has worked for Piedmont as ramp/ CSA agent for since November 2014. About 2.5 years ago they came to us and said if you have certain criteria met we want to give you a nice sign on bonus and a contracted spot with us. He has been time build as a CFI/CFII and next week he goes to ATP- CTP training. What tips do you have for FO and ATP training with Piedmont? Did Piedmont pay you while at ATP- CTP course?
Nice video! Quick question/comment. I do agree with you that the degree aspect is becoming obsolete on the regional level, but many mainline/legacy carriers still require or “strongly prefer” at least a 2 year degree. Though not wasting your time on college to get into the regionals as fast as possible sounds appealing, you still do need to consider what is required in progressing your career. I think it always just depends on what kind of flying you want to do, but it is just something to think about.
Every major airline that I've looked at require a bachelor's degree that is why I'm doing college before any flight training
Thank you. For your tips I still need more help for you. Thank you again.
Just did my first lesson today, scheduled to train every day for the next month!
How can you afford this? Do you work before or after training somewhere else?
@@tylerleuschen8132 I worked a job I hated because it paid a lot of money for around 5 years and saved enough for roughly my commercial license and now my wife is covering the rent while I study and fly full time to try and get it done as quick as possible so I can start making money again. If you want to talk exact details I’m more than happy to link up and discuss training if you are interested!
@@tylerleuschen8132 it’s like college
I’m planning going to small aviation college then going to ATP
I got to get back in there. Miss it so much.
Awesome video! Super helpful
Something to note, you won’t be able to get to mainline carriers without the degree. If you only go to a school like ATP, you’ll be stuck at the regional level. AirlinePilotCentral is a good source to research prospective employers.
Nicholas Leigh exactly... most everybody requires a bachelors degree.
Nicholas Leigh what is to stop you from working on a degree while at regional? Build hours and degree at the same time
Adam Brackston you can do a bachelors degree online too!
more videos learning a lot!
Captain Garrett,
Thank you for such an informative video!
I didn’t get the part where you talked about building hours and then after you went straight down to AA ??? The school I go to , they offer CFI employment and after building hours, employment with Piedmont Airlines, where after you can get a job w American Airlines...
What school did you attended?
Legacy aviation in PA
@flywithgarrett
Please record a video on your hardest classes. :)
Hey man can you do this in high school? I want to be a airline pilot and I feel like the earlier I start that better
It is possible to start the basic training for the private pilot license, and you can do your first solo flight when you are 16, and you will receive the private pilot license when you are 17. After that you can get a commercial pilot license when you are 18.
This was super helpful!!! Thank you
Although is true that the regional airlines do not require a bachelors degree, if your final goal is to be a legacy airline pilot (Delta, United, American) at the moment they do require a 4 year degree. Something to think about.
Not anymore
Very useful topic.you are very hardworking and talented too. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Do the airlines accept RPA pilots from the Air Force? I know they go through Initial flight Training and Instrument Flight Rating.
If you go from a flight school they make you do like class ratings and conversions and so on but from the airforce u don't have to since its more detailed sorta training
hey. i have a stupid question. please answer. so, all the flights you said that you did like for example marthas vineyard. who keeps track of these flight hours? and how do you show it to the airlines
Great video! Thank you :) 👌✈
Cudowne oczy i uśmiech ,niespotykane.
Perfect video I was looking for you rule thank you
Watching your channel I’m motivated
Your uniform suits you 🙂
Nice video 👌👍👏
Great video! Awesome intro and logo, what editor did you use?
fiverr!
This was incredibly informative, thank you!
As far as I’m aware, don’t most Major airlines require a bachelors degree to apply? Is the ultimate goal of a airline pilot to advance from regional to major? Or is there even much of a difference?
With a high demand in pilots today, not anymore. However like the inflation that went up on everything, so did the flight schools.
Great vlog Garrett very interesting topic, You certainly know your job Captain big responsibility I would imagine flying passengers all over the world Do you work for United Airlines.
Do you recommend at least getting your associate's degree or would it be acceptable to go into the ATP straight out of High School?
How do you become a pilot while having a full time career? For example I’ll be 45 when I retire and I’m 30y/o now. Are there part time programs I can take to become a pilot by the time I’m ready to retire my first career?
hi you can work slowly taking 1 flight a week at your local flight school, cash flowing your license. Get your cfi and instruct on the weekends. If you do that you’ll be debt free and have enough hours to go to the airlines
Nice, keep it so 🤙👍
What does the pay look like directly out of ATP? I graduated with a double major from a competitive business school. I currently work for a Fintech company called SoFi. I’m looking to get out of the Fintech industry and completely changing my path. Does having two degrees already help my chances on making it to a major airline? Any way to increase my chances to get to a major airline? Any info helps, thank you! :)
It’s been 2 years man , how’s the journey going ?
@@ab98boricua lmao
Great vídeo 👍👍👍
This video makes me happy to know I'm on the right track
What are you doing just wondering
@@StrictlySports working on getting my PPI at a local airport. And I found out I like working on planes too so I might get my A&P as well.
AT the moment i am debating to go to either FSU or embry riddle for my four year degree. I would love to go to embry riddle but ive heard the social life there is pretty bad. Is it as bad as everyone says it is?
Would you recommend joining the American Airlines Cadet Academy? My end goal is to fly for American Airlines but I'm not sure how that would work if I don't get a 4 year degree.
sounds like a good program to me
What is you want to work for international airlines
When did you take your written test for your private license towards the end of before your check ride ?
@flywithgarrett how long do you typically stay at a regional before moving to a major/legacy airline?
I’m not 100 precent sure but he started at American at 23 so maybe 2 years ??
Thanks very helpful video!
I left American Airlines SEA base for ramp in 2012 because they tried to get me to breakride in the cockpit for a 757 tow that I was not properly trained for. Could have destroyed the airplane or worse injured some of my ground workers.. Better to quit then to get fired right
What's your pay like when you're in training for an upgrade but you have those random weeks off like in between training and even after training (you mentioned another 2-3 wks before you fly left seat).
75 hours plus per diem
After listening to you...I took a ride in a helicopter. I had this horrible fear of flying but then its so better now!
It's more of a fear of facing the unknown than anything else I suppose ! Or maybe a panic attack midair. Basically nerves . I am ok now !Hey you look very handsome too! A bollywood hero! Have gr8 life!
Hey Garrett, 4 years later is this still the path you’d take? Do you have any updates or new insights?
Just got into American airline cadet program working on 890 hours have my IR and my CPL
Props to 12 hrs solo. That’s really great
Honestly!! Such an overlooked detail. I watched this video about a year ago but remembered he said this and didn’t think much of it. Now that I’m at 18 hours myself and my instructor telling me I’m most likely going to solo at around 30, I had to come back and address this in a comment lol
Hi Garrett. Can you please make a video flying and airplane please a cockpit view of departing and landing, can you please. Always very good videos. 🙏🙏 God bless you always blessings 🤗
First of all think you for your video :)
I have a quick question, I know that you said we don't need to do a bachelor degree at University to be a pilot but what is the advantage if we do it?
Tia Thenel from my understanding from reading the comments, if you don’t have an associates/bachelors then you likely won’t work for a big airline and mostly regional
Tia Thenel The advantage would be having a better chance of getting a job at a major airline. I recommend you do get a degree if your goal is to work for a major.
Army WOFT. Either street to seat or prior enlisted/officer. Minimums for military aviators is 750 TT at the regionals. The Army will pay for all of your military flight training and once you reach that 750 mark you are eligible to be hired at a regional. The regionals have rotor transition programs for military and civilian helicopter pilots and if you’re military the regional will pay for it! Because there are fixed wing requirements you still have to meet you have to get your ratings. As a warrant officer in the Army you don’t need a a college degree to be a pilot. Talk your local pilot recruiter guard/reserve/active and they will help you. It’s an excellent path to pick if you have interest flying military aircraft!
Also should you go get a bachelor's if you are hoping to one day work for a legacy carrier.
I have a question, what's the reason for having a college degree for becoming an airline pilot? And, do you even need one? College plus pilot school is really expensive. And a few pilots I know who fly for American and Unitef dont even have a degree.
It’s so weird flying so long from right seat then fly left seat. Takes a min lol
I work at an FBO in KSNA and they let employees rent their planes for classes at a discounted rate. That’s another incentive or idea for upcoming pilots.
I’m interested in Embry-Riddle for my son. Aerospace Engineering. What are your thoughts of the school?
Do you think Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology would be a good school to go to to get my licenses, it was my dads dream school but then he had me 😅
