They finally woken up to the fact that if they want people to put up with the stress and financial burden of getting into this field, then they need to pay above poverty level.
Exactly!
😪Boo Hoo! Pilots just sit there and let the autopilot do the flying. As airplanes become more automated, the job of flying them just gets easier and easier. Soon, there will be one and then later, none.
@@jamesburns2232 What is more automated then a train? Why are there still people sitting there?
@@jamesburns2232no moron a pilot gotta be present to control the panel and emergencies ,, auto pilot doesn’t do everything nimrod
you know we're all interested when its money talk haha
Yes I do, and don't we all :)
Obviously you are doing a great job so definitely you need a huge remuneration 😊😊😊
Im in flight school now and all I can say is make sure that you really want to do this, you will have to study your butt off, and it's a lot of mental work. Airlines come pretty much every month to recruit cadets at my school but please, make sure that you know what you are signing up for.
How much studying are you doing per night or per week? I'm considering flights school but know I am not the most studious of individuals...
@@stevenfoster9402 Well my school has set up that we do ground school first and then take the written exam first and if you pass the written exam you move to the flight line. I studied on average 4 hours per night for the written exam and then if you pass the written exam you move to the flight line. Then on the flight line, I am studying for about 2 - 4 hours and which includes chair flying and going through the checklist.
Eh, it's really not too bad, at least in my experience flying in Santa Monica. Maybe if you are doing an accelerated course.
@@howled0 I am on a 15-month track but the airspace in central Florida is so congested that you have to be extra careful.
im planning to start flight school next year after i graduate from college this year , it was always a dream of mine becoming a pilot , can you please tell me how long or how many years it's gonna take me to be an airline pilot after getting all pilot license , like how many years does it usually take?
Hello! I wanted to know how claiming/collecting disability from the V.A affect their chance of becoming a pilot? Thank you for all the info!
There are plenty of pilots. The prob is due to insurance requirements they need proper hours. Big gap is between 200+h after training and 1000+h as entry point to regional lines. It is very old problem and look like not many interested to fill the gap.
How about the hiring situation? I get that most get raises but do they get job offers ?
Hi Omar. Aloha from Maui! My son will be a Junior in high school next year and is very interested in becoming a pilot. We have been watching your videos religiously so thanks for the great content!!!
Do you think it is worthwhile for him to start this journey knowing he won’t be able to become a pilot for at least 5 more years? We are also researching the best route for him if he should get a bachelors in aviation or go another route through a flight school such as your. Thanks for your time 🙏🏾
Aloha! I was in Honolulu last October for my honeymoon! I would recommend getting him started on his Private pilots license while attending high school then enrolling in an accelerated program upon graduation. Once he gets his ratings have him instructor asap to build the 1500 required hours to be hired at an airline. I recommend enrolling him in an online bachelors degree program so he can go fly at a regional upon reaching 1500 hours while attaining his degree.
Thank you for your support. It means the world to me. My passion has always been to help anyone I can to achieve their dreams

Aloha Omar. Thanks for the reply! Born and raised on the island of Oʻahu And recently moved to Maui during 2021 with my family. Maui is way better than Oʻahu if you’re wondering 😂
Anyway, thanks for the great info! Definitely limiting for flight schools on this island but will look into it for sure. We Greatly appreciate the insight and recommendations for my son. Thanks so much 🙏🏾
I wanted to ask this question as well thank you for the guidance Omar 💯
Hi, Do you have a school in New Jersey?
Hi Omar! Leo from Guam here and just did my first discovery flight this past weekend. Kinda worried about it because i had TOO MUCH FUN and am seriously considering starting the journey. I have zero hours and am wondering if you think a 30 year old like me could still have a successful career if i decided to change paths.
Also do you think automation will actually eliminate the need for pilots anytime soon? Love your videos, hoping to gather a lot of good info so i can make a solid educated decision. Thanks!
Hi Leo!
Thanks for following my channel. You're definitely not too old by any means. I definitely think automation will take over. The question everyone is asking is when will it happen. People have been guessing as far back as 1990, when my dad was a pilot on the B727 at Emirates in Dubai. I remember he used to tell me, its going to come, but it won't be in our lifetime.
If you look at the newest designed airplanes they are making, the A350, B787, these airplanes are certified with human pilots in mind. It is no secret the difficulties and cost associated with aircraft certification which costs billions of dollars. These two new airplanes will be flying for the next 20-30 years with pilots in them. Boeing and Airbus would have to design an aircraft from the ground up without pilots. Before that can happen, laws must be passed allowing for that to happen.
Like my father told me 33 years ago, I don't think it will happen during our careers.
Best regards,
Omar
Same here... 30 yo here and thinking about switching careers from Computer Programming to Airline Pilot. I've been a Flight Simulator Pilot for a few years now with thousands of hours in different aircraft, and currently 500 hours in the new A320neo.. I just need to make it real now.
At 32 years old I left law enforcement and pursued aviation. I'm 39 now and am a captain at a legacy in the U.S. It was a grind, but I've literally quadrupled my income. If you have the passion, go for it and don't look back.
@@flyingfiveo Thank you for your comment. I really fell in love with aviation and am currently saving up for my schooling. I want to do an accelerated course. Did you go down an accelerated path ?
Do you think is too late to become a pilot now from zero time? It takes about 2-3 years to become one and like $100k on average so if I start this year I won’t be at a regional until 2025, 2026.
Hi Joseph
No, I don’t think it’s too late by any means. Things are just getting started. I published American Airlines pilot retirement forecast on my IG story yesterday. It stated:
Mandatory Retirements (Based on pilots turning 65 in the given year)
2020 - 323
2021 - 542
2022 - 624
2023 - 828
2024 - 911
2025 - 941
2026 - 904
2027 - 772
2028 - 688
2029 - 647
2030 - 568
2031 - 584
2032 - 523
2033 - 498
2034 - 435
2035 - 395
2036 - 307
2037 - 256
2038 - 267
2039 - 248
2040 - 255
It is absolutely insane how many pilots are retiring. Keep in mind, this is just 1 airlines numbers. It’s like this at EVERY airline if not worse.
Best wishes,
Omar
@@ocflightlessons thank you for all this info mr Omar
@@ocflightlessons until the next downturn....
How do we become a check airman?!!
@@benbenjamin7119like 10 years captain experience and degrees 😂😂😂. It’s very competitive and every pilot wants it of course
That’s before profit sharing and bonuses and per dim and benefits and OT,,,
I am new to the channel. I liked and subscribed. I am about to be 43yrs old and I was just approved for the loan to attend flight school to become commercial pilot. I am so excited. 6-8mon schooling, then i can work as a CFI until I reach 1500hrs. Any advise?
Congratulations Bonard! My advice would be to work hard, ask lots of questions, and be more patient with yourself than at any time in your life. And don’t forget to look outside the airplane and have fun! 😉
So are you saying that this is the perfect time to become an airline pilot? Also, how long do you think the shortage will continue? Do you think it will keep raising?
through 2030
its a great time to be a pilot. It is forecasted to remain this way through the middle of next decade. 2035-2038.
Hi Omar, I'm 26 and have to make a decision for my future, and being a pilot is something I'm interested in. At my current job I'm making 28$ an hour, 12 hour shifts, and I've heard regional pilots work 12 hour shifts routinely but only get paid for 6 hours because its all based on actual flight time.
While 90$ an hour does seem enticing, the schedule insecurity is sketchy for me, and if your working 12 hours but only getting paid for 6 are you really getting paid 90$ an hour? Yah feel me?
I'm interested to get your take on how airlines pay pilots, thanks man
Pilots get a guaranteed minimum pay of 70 -75 hours per month. So, if you fly for only 50 hours in one month, you will be paid for whatever the minimum number of hours that the airline has. Also, you can only fly for 100 hours per month or 1000 hours per year. I suggest you do a discovery flight to see if you like it.
@@TheShooter95 That doesn't answer the question though.
@@TheShooter95 I've flown since I was young, but I don't want to work 150 hours to get paid for 75. The hourly doesn't mean anything at that point.
@@maxigiraffe3598 Don't become a pilot if the only reason you're going to do it is for the money.
Hi Maxi
The starting pay at the regionals is $100,000. I wouldn’t worry too much about your daily pay because however you calculate it, you’re going to make $100k+ as a first officer in your first year.
Thanks for your contribution 👍🏼
Hey how long from flight instructor to working at a regional like skywest or other regionals from 1500 hours
1-2 years dependant on location, weather and operating hours of the school.
Hi Rohit
Great question. It depends on how busy the school is, the condition and maintenance program of their aircraft, and the general weather in the region you’re in. At my school, instructors are flying 80-100 hours per month.
Best wish,
Omar
in florida you can get up to 100-120 hours a month but you’ll need your CFII
@@mikehunt7481 You actually get more hours as a CFI because with a CFII there is more simulator training. The CFI's at my school average around 60-80 hours a month and that's a lot.
@@TheShooter95 what state are you in that’s taking guys with just their CFI? Down here in florida you won’t get hired without your CFII. at least in the tampa/sarasota area
I don't this situation will continue more than 4.years it's just a temporary hike due to early retirement during covid.and unexpected increase in flihts o quickly after covid.
Hi Mohamed,
Thanks for your contribution. Statistics indicate this situation will continue well into the 2030’s. 80% of pilots will be retiring in the next 10 years.
Thanks
I haven't taken any of the 'jabs' and have heard that some companies are actually interested in this.
how can u become a line check airmen?
You gotta know people that know people 😉
@@ocflightlessons😂😂😂
Are Airlines still requiring 4 year college degree?
No
Do united hires Pakistani graduated pilots?
Btw your videos are so knowledgeable
No, but Atlas Air does
The Airlines are bleeding red ink, their stock falls on a regular basis. Jet Blue is $4 a share down from $25.
Airlines literally just posted record profits with the exception of Spirit because 41 of their 203 Airbus’s have faulty engines
