      I just started flight school 2 months ago. Word of advice, get started on the ground knowledge! Get any of the written exams out of the way that you can. For me, the flying has come easy but the ground knowledge is an insane amount to start to conquer. I am at an accelerated program but I would imagine it's a lot regardless.

      Go to a 2 year college college and get an associates degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology, get your A&P license, Remote Pilot license, Aircraft Dispatcher License, AGI/IGI Ground Instructor license. Get your private, IFR, commercial, and multi engine under part 61. Get your commercial single engine sea, commercial glider and sport gyroplane. Don't bother going to a 4 year college nor university because you will rack up debt with no hope of getting a job in your field to study.

    If pilots can only fly 1000 hours per year, how do you get to a million? If he flies every trip at 150%, if his base rate is $200/hr, that's still only $300k/yr. Do DH hours not count towards flight hours? If that's the case, let's say a pilot flies 1000 hours and DH 1000 hours. All at time and a half. $200x1.5x2k is still only $600k. What am I missing to get to $1m? Are we factoring in profit sharing? Per diem?

      @@flywithgarrettGreat content and love your energy Bro! I’m an avionics tech with 35 yrs of experience. Wanted to be an airline pilot when I was young in the late 1980s after immigrating to U.S. I didn’t know how and never met a person passionate as I’m with knowledge and “ways to achieve it” as I could guide a younger version of me to be a pilot now. This is why I love your content because you provide some guidance and perhaps would consider creating a A-Z guideline “how become a pilot with an ATP rating” , so any teenager or a young adult has a checklist they could work with to achieve their dream job as an airline pilot. All I know is, you rarely run into a pilot who’s “just doing my job” vs most that are absolutely passionate about flying.
      As hard as you’re working, living and enjoying your life… make sure to max out your 401k contributions every year invested in diversified investments (compare fees and returns to the S&P 500 as a bench mark) and Roth IRA (if you qualify for it), so that investment grows as you age. Compound interest returns does not show up overnight though it will be working for you every day and will be waiting for you when you arrive into your late 50s.
      Wish you good weather and safe flights in all your journeys!
