👋 About Me 👋
I started college in 2021 and originally had my eyes set on becoming a doctor. After I realized that wasn't for me, I started studying business and finance while working sales jobs during the summer. After selling Pest Control and an internship in finance, I decided to look into becoming a pilot. A couple of flights later, I was hooked and decided that making money while flying jets doesn't sound too bad! Subscribe to follow the journey!

Thanks for the tips Luke.
No problem!
Love it!
Glad you liked it!
thanks this is really useful to me
Glad it helped!
How do you handle this ? Being married? And having responsibilities ?
Hey Luke! I hope you are doing well. I recently started watching your videos, since I am also looking into going to ATP. I am also married and would like to know how do handle being away from work while the wife handles the financial burden? I am just looking for guidance and would love to hear your opinion. I apologize if it’s too direct, and I am very appreciative of you making these very informative videos!
Not too direct at all! Thanks for watching my videos.
Most people will get a loan through Sallie Mae that also covers some living expenses so it makes it more manageable. So unless you have a lot of money saved up or something I don't see many more options than that.
That being said it definitely takes a lot of commitment from you and your wife but if you can either get a loan or finance it yourself it is doable.
Thank you for the tip Luke! Can you recommend any free app to study for instrument rating?
Of course! Only app that I know for instrument training is hold trainer. It just teaches you how to do holds.
As far as studying for the written knowledge test, I used Sheppard air and it was great.
@@FlyWithLukeD Thanks.
Great video, I start the 15th at the Greenville location. Are you able to send that list of the mnemonics?
Thanks man! And yeah just send me your email!
@@FlyWithLukeD Awesome I Just sent you an email!
This may sound like a stupid question but I genuinely would like to know if you are able to have a job while being in ATP? Something small part time? Or is that just not practical or allowed- because if you can't have a job then how do you live? Rent, gas, groceries etc. while being in ATP since I believe you don't get payed until you become a CFI for then until then how does one survive the required cost to live? Or how long would you be without an income?
Thank you any response on this is appreciated!
Definitely not a dumb question! It'd be really hard to have a job while at ATP, even if it is part time. The only way that you could probably work is if you can control the hours/weeks that you work. Some weeks are super busy but once you're endorsed and waiting for a checkride you don't have much going on.
Most people take out a loan and factor in living expenses when considering the amount they want to take out. Let me know if this helps! Thanks for watching my videos!
I would also say that the program will take anywhere from 9-15 months. So definitely something to consider when it comes to budgeting
@@FlyWithLukeD oh okay that makes alot of sense, it just made me think I'd have to quit my job and then have no way of being able to do flight school because of money, that's a relief though I didn't know you could factor that into a flight school loan. I'm in San Antonio Tx, so it's not a high cost of living thankfully but im not sure if there's atp training here or if I'd have to go to Austin which costs slightly more. Either way, now I think the best thing to do is save as much as possible until I have to quit for atp, and do the loan thing for school and living expenses but thank you for the help and I'll continue watching!! Do you have a recommended season or month to start with atp? I guess I'll also be studying until then for the written exams and everyhting
@@Soyketzy I think if you are in Texas weather should be pretty good year round for flying so not really! Best of luck. Let me know how everything goes!
Hey Luke, I am almost 14, which is the legal age in Australia for aviation. And was thinkjng of joining the Australian Air Cadets so i can cheaply get my hours and a good training, is this a good idea? Thanks man this video is great
Hey man thanks for watching my video! I am not super familiar with flight training in Australia as I am doing mine in the US so I don't know much about Austrialian Air Cadets. Best of luck to you though!
