- In this interview, you are going to hear from Philip Krzyszton on the path he took to land a job as the First Officer of a Falcon 20 at a mere 275 hours.
I first discovered Philip after reading this thread on Facebook (bit.ly/3rpizo4) and after seeing what he'd done...and now valuable networking was to his career, I reached out to ask him to do this interview because I it would be very helpful for other members of the Fly With Trent community to hear his story.

👋 About Me 👋
After a successful business career where I've started and sold a number of companies, I've decided to get out from behind my computer to pursue a lifelong passion and start career 2.0 as a professional pilot. My goal is to get to 1500 hours and then either work for a large regional, a major, or possibly even cargo. Once my flight training is done, I will work as an independent CFI until I have reached the 1500 hours needed to get hired by one of the above. You can learn more at www.FlyWithTrent.com.

Great video. Maybe interviews with older people that started late in life pursuing a second career in the aviation industry. Keep up the great work.
Great suggestion! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
75hrs a month is close to full time flying for most pilots I believe, and to be getting that as turbine time at such a low number of hours is awesome. I'd love to see more videos like this and can't wait to get flying myself.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Networking is almost as important as the trade skills. Nice job putting the emphasis where it needs to be!
Thanks! Agree completely!
Hey Trent! I’m starting next week with a Part 141 Flight School in Florida with the Southwest Airlines Destination 225 Program. So excited!! ✈️
🙌 thats terrific! Blue skies ahead!
Welcome aboard Emma!
✈️
That was super helpful to see an actual example of how networking works. We all know we need to network, but I believe everyone truly thinks "that's great info for you, but it doesn't apply to me I have the hours and they'll hire me because I'm awesome"
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Excellent Video! I am an A&P/IA and have been for the last 23 years. I am transitioning to the cockpit myself. Currently working on CFI. For those going the A&P path, part 147 schools are a great way to track this path. The best values can be found at 147 schools that are part of a community college. I am currently looking at corporate aviation because of my maintenance background. Most people I have spoken with say that this will be a tremendous resource. Philip, excellent job man. Thanks for sharing your story. One thing that you may consider with your background is the NBAA CAM (Certified Aviation Manager).
Good advice!
Than you so much!! I was wanting to head into the cooperate world, so the NBAA CAM is an awesome suggestion! Thanks!
✈️
Good to have an a&p to fall back on, never know what life will throw at you so the more skills you have the better off you’ll be. I have had several engineering students do internships for me and farmers kids were some of the best when it comes to working with their hands.
This video just drives home how important face to face contact is even in a digital world.
So true! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
There’s a guy “Gear-Down” who’s came from the music’s industry. He’s an independent and has done very well for himself. I’ve learn my trade the same way, you got to gain skill and education that make you sellable and not end at the bottom of the application stack.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Cool. What’s his name? I have a similar background. Would like to learn more about his situation.

Another great video. Perfect example of how important networking actually is. 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Great video Trent. I’m currently working on my commercial cert and this is very inspirational. I love your entrepreneurial approach and I am also thinking of being an independent CFI as well when the time comes. - Safe flying
Thanks!!
Thank you Trent for sharing this video
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
I like this video. I like the music too because it matches the enthusiasm I feel for the topic. 8:52 best 20 seconds of advice ever posted on UA-cam ever.
Thanks!
Thank you for all that you do. I appreciate the in depth breakdowns of individuals aviation career stories, it really shows people that CFI isn't always the only route to hours. Additionally, I just want to note that I think the background music can take the spotlight away from the Interviewee and isn't needed, it's a bit distracting. Otherwise thank you for the content!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It all helps my channel to grow and help more guys/gals like us!!
Hey Trent, your videos are very inspirational for me here in England UK, its was another pilot friend of mine here in England that introduced me to your videos, so your audience number is growing here in Europe..
Super cool!!! Thx for watching:)
So many paths to the dream job. This was a great one
That’s what I thought! Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It all helps my channel to grow and help more guys/gals like us!!
I enjoyed this, keep it up. Interviews and hearing other people’s experiences are always great to help learn and aspire.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Smart kid with a bright future.

Encouraging interview. I’m flying to Caldwell tomorrow.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
I just watched this for the second time. As always, your videos are so very helpful.
Hey Brandee… Welcome back to the channel for another view. Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad to hear that the videos are helping you so much!
Trent, would like to see an interview with an older pilot who has been through a few furloughs and what they did while that was going? Also, if you have any more information about Atlas? Thanks
Noted!
Love the content! Thank you! I don’t care for the overpowering background music though.
Noted!
amazing video!! I identify a lot with the work you do!!! And all this information is huge help to the community of new pilots, thank you very much Trent!
Glad to help! Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It all helps my channel to grow and help more guys/gals like us!!
So let me try to understand this for my future endeavors.. You can become a FO without having the 1500 hr standard requirement set by most major airlines? -- So in the instance here, Philip got an FO job at 275 hours because his boss liked him & decided he would be fit for the gig; done via networking and being a genuine human.
I guess I've had it in my head that you CANNOT become a FO until you hit (x) amount of flight hours; as in there's a rule or regulation set for this.
Thanks in advance, keep up the good work Trent!
To fly for an airline, you do need 1500 and an ATP. To fly for a part 135 operation as a first officer, you do not.
This is the exact route I am starting in a few months. If you end up flying commercially, it's like having 2 careers. Except 1 doesn't require a medical.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
I wish you all the best going down this route! Of course, I'm biased, but I do believe that this is the best route to take, not only for providing value to employers, but also to understanding the aviation industry better. By getting your A&P, you will understand systems better than any of your instructors and examiners... makes check-rides a breeze :)
@@philipkrzyszton that's good to know. Thanks!
✈️
Thanks for the video Trent. Would be great to have more conversations like this on the channel!
Noted! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Love your videos, and I encourage more interviews. I'll +1 the suggestions you're getting on music, I would just kill the music during the interview except for intro and outro. In my case, I watch a lot of videos at 1.25x or 1.50x playback speed to get through more content in less time, and the music is REALLY hard to deal with at that speed. :)
Noted.
Great interview. The background music is unnecessary
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Great info. The music over powered the interview though
Sry about that.
Trent 🛫 excelente excelente 👍🏻🙌🏻 totally loved the confirmation of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease!" And I think you meant "scared of money.. can't make money!" LOL 😂 either way thanks for the video 📸 and looking forward to hearing about your progress! God bless 🛫🛩️🇺🇸
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Thank you Trent for great video
My pleasure!
Another great video Bro. Keep up the excellent work👨🏿✈️
Thanks, will do!
Great stuff understanding the flow from student to employed flyer really helps!!
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
I enjoyed the interview format. Encouraging to hear from yet another source how important networking is.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
So interesting! Thank you for posting 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video sir. Music to much. I agree with a few comments. Older people would be good. Im 41 starting flight school in 11/1/23.
Best of luck!
@trent_dyrsmid Thank you sir.
🙌
Thank you Trent. This was great for me! What’s your current weekly goal in your aviation career if you don’t mind me asking?
My weekly goal is to fly 30+ hours and create one video.
Love the interview, but the background music is very distracting. Made him really hard to hear.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Definitely keep this format! (Just bit too much of music again….)
Noted!
I went to school with Philip, and the first time we all hung out the guy would feed us pizza that he got out of a dumpster lol
Flight training is expensive bro, but thank you Domino's for the sponsorship ;)
🤣🤣🤣
@@philipkrzysztonrespect brother.
🙌
Another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good video
Thanks!!
Thanks for posting Trent. Could you do a video explaining SIC time and what counts toward ATP minimums? I have found a lot of people are confused on this and may take a job thinking that their time will count when it won’t. Than you kindly.
I don’t even know the rules on that 🤣
I’m sure I could Google it….but I don’t think that video would get many views so it’s not on my list to make at this point. Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
He is a very lucky kid. Aviation is just like the law in the US. It is very unjust, meaning that hard work/knowledge/credentials mean noting if you have the network/connections to make big. I know a handful of pilots that they are there because of who they knew, not what they know. Aviation is an unfair business, and it will probably never change. Some of you may not agree but that is the reality.
No. That is just the story you are telling yourself to make up for falling short of your goals.
How can you say with 100% certainty that aviation is this way? Did you talk to every single person in aviation? Did you apply for every single job in aviation?
If you have the beliefs of a victim, you will live the life of a victim.
Hi Trent, I enjoy your channel. I have been following a pilot Nancy (Bradshaw) ? from Florida who had been very active writing about her experiences from flight instructor to flying for United Enb145, got furloughed , went to cargo, then flying private jet and finally got hired as first officer for United. She seems to have vanished from youtube. Have you seen anything of her. Pilot Nancy? Do airlines discourage talking on yourube?
she quit youtube because of negative comments. She made her last post a month ago I believe
I’m not sure. She might have just burned out.
She sends out emails every now-and-then but I have noticed a drop in frequency.
🙌
Either the aircraft is uninsured or they don't know he's flying this jet lol. I personally want to meet the underwriter at the insurance company that said 275 is good enough for a Falcon SIC out of all the 1,500 hour pilots out there. I didn't get approved for a King Air SIC due to insurance at 750 hours...
✈️
Great interview! So my question is how are his hours log able? Not saying they aren’t just trying to figure out what part is he flying under? Or does right seat SIC not require as much time? Think it’s awesome for him!!! just trying to figure it all out? Thank you!
We discuss that an more here ua-cam.com/video/FyiOR3sa_d8/v-deo.htmlsi=32-7MGSfjA8MJM99
@@trent_dyrsmid Awesome! Thank you!
🙌
Good video but I would consider getting rid of the background music during the interview. It was distracting on headphones at least.
I have eliminated it in the interviews after this one :)
I like the video. Would have been even better without the background music.
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🙌
Trent, I have to ask.. your already a successful man and made good investments in real-estate in the STM. I really don't understand why your chasing a W2 job? seems like most investors are trying to get away from W2 income and your doing the exact opposite? what gives? thanks and love the channel
I’m not rich enough to be retired and I don’t want to do another startup so I’m going to fly and take the cash surplus to buy apartments.
background music is annoying bro... just heads up
Thanks for the feedback.
I love it
🙌
Agreed that it’s not necessary for a simple interview. Just a distraction.
Noted
i tried to do a part 61 bt it juts was not working. i managed to pass the ppl written with an 80% i signed up for sheppard air i got a 60% on my 1st practice exam with them but in the last 2 months i have worked so many hors at my real job i have not had a chance to open the sheppard air app. i talked with a 141 flight school and told them the problem i have is i still have bills to pay. they said you can add your monthly bills into the student loan. so the bank would give the monthly payment to the flight school and then the flight school would send my part to my bank account to pay for my bills and what not ( i forget the fancy name he used) i have searched high and low and cannot find grants or scholarships for someone about to turn 50. so student loan looks like the path i am going to be taking.

If there is such a shortage why is there stacks of resumes of people that have no chance
Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment! I read every comment personally 🙌
because when you heard about the shortage in the news/social media, it was already at the tail end of the curve
I think you might want to give that a double check.
Curious to know if Phillip was sent to FlightSafety or another school to get a Type Rating for the Falcon-20? Without one, presumably he isn't certified to be a First Officer and can't log the hours in his Log Book. Not shitting on him - just wasn't clear from the interview because it's presumably more than 12,500lbs.
I’ll let Philip answer that…
The company I am with provides the type rating as part of the hiring bonuses, so I was hired on without the SIC type. It was a month of company-provided ground school, then we went down to Paramount Aviation Services (Formerly FlightSafety) to do simulator training and do the type rating check ride. So yes, I am rated to be FO with a Falcon 20 SIC Type Rating.
@@philipkrzysztonThanks for coming on and agreeing to be interviewed. Your story is inspirational.

Ditch the music during the interview. It’s very distracting. Otherwise great video

Hi I’m am almost 13 years old I have NO money how can I start learning about becoming a pilot it is my dream job😁
Also I would love to become the youngest female pilot it is my dream, what do you think about a hobby where I flip planes like people do with cars?
How would you flip planes without money? I’d suggest you watch this ua-cam.com/video/auJ3zQyN7hY/v-deo.htmlsi=NnodV3WR-ZW_lSLr
Thank you so much!
I will try contacting Philip
If you have any tips that would be helpful!
While the only people in the world and I mean the U.S citizens struggle to get to 1,500 hours after finishing their license around 250 hours to land a job in the airlines. The rest brag about how they land a job with the airlines just after finishing their comercial with those hours since they don't have that 1,500 rule.
