Hi Carl,

I appreciate the topics you bring to us through YouTube and enjoy hearing your voice on all aviation topics. The reason for my message today, the pilot community needs you to discuss the pilot shortage in the USA for 2024 and 2025.

New pilots are concerned about the hiring slowdown. Especially those still training or who are building their hours towards ATP.

I know there is a video about this topic on your channel but things are changing rapidly and we would love to hear your opinion. Many low-time pilot groups on Facebook are having conversations concerning whether we will have a job after we get our Airline Transport Pilot minimums.

Are we heading to those days working for $20 an hour as first officer for regionals? A lot of news is coming out about airliners slowing down hiring for 2024, and many pilots with ATP are struggling to get a job now. We would like to hear from you as a low-time pilot community.

Thank you

Talking Points:

1. I understand your concern but you can’t predict the hiring market the day you get your 1500 hours, but we do have a good outlook for the future for pilot hiring in general.
2. What is the pilot shortage?
3. Hiring climate in 2024.

   2. https://airlinegeeks.com/2024/01/24/frontier-slows-pilot-hiring-pipeline/
   3. There are still airlines hiring.
4. What to do in a slowing market?
   1. There are still airlines hiring so you might not get your dream airline right away.
   2. Look at the regionals again.
   3. ACP378 12 Actions To Take During A Hiring Slowdown In 2024
   4. Focus on the long-term goal, don't look at short-term hiring.
   5. Have a plan B when things don’t go as planned.
5. Future Hiring.

   2. $211,790 Media pay is still a good salary vs $46,310 for all occupations.
   3. Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook 2023-2042 https://www.boeing.com/commercial/market/pilot-technician-outlook/
6. It takes years to get to your final goal.
7. Keep flying.
8. Be flexible and play the long game.
   1. You may need to look at other markets.

9. Stay off the online forums for one month. It will be great for your mental health.
10. Stay focused.
11. Control your emotions.
12. Conclusion: Slowing market but the future looks good. Continue to make yourself competitive.

I am 60 and want to know how fast I can go from having no pilot license to flying a private light jet. Maybe a coaching session for advice on how to do it.
Thank you

From Contact Page:

Hello, I am a recent college graduate in civil engineering considering a career change to become a pilot. I have listened to your podcasts and appreciate all the tips and information you provide!

I have been working my engineering job for almost a year and am considering whether committing to an accelerated flight school like ATP or a local flight school is right for me.

Time and money are large components of what I decide. What are your thoughts? And what advice would you share in a situation like this? Thank you!

From Contact Page:

Please how does one get the scholarship guide?

From Contact Page:

Hello, I am looking for information on scholarships to start pilot lessons. Thank you for your consideration.

From Contact Page:

I currently fly a Cessna Grand Caravan as an aerial survey pilot. Consequently, I am logging Turbine PIC. The hours I fly are typically (90%) day VFR. This is a Part 91 operation.

The schedule with the MEDEVAC operation is much better than my current schedule, but the pay is a bit worse. Fair trade in my opinion. I’m still a time builder (about 540 hours to my R-ATP minimums, about 490 to my 135 PIC mins)

My 2-4 year goal is to fly for NetJets or a Florida-based LCC, as I would like to be Florida-based long term.

My question is this should I build Turbine PIC SEL vs Turbine SIC MEL? Do hiring managers at big companies like I listed care about something like this? I’ve been told in the past that having the most multi-time possible is a good thing. Currently, I meet the ATP multi-engine and PIC requirements. I do need the night and instrument hours, which I believe I would log a lot of if I go with the King Air position.

Thanks for reading my email, I’ve been a long-time listener of the podcast. This podcast is the reason I attended Polk State College. You may remember showing me around your office once a couple of years ago, I hope you still have the photo of Lindbergh on your wall.

Hello, I have been considering becoming a career pilot for some time, at 41 I am at a point in my life where I think it might be possible, however, I realize I don't know what I don't know about the industry. I am looking for advice and guidance, I think I may benefit from your career coaching service, I could make myself available anytime that you were available, perhaps some company offers a "career day" type of experience for prospective pilots. I have an appointment to check out a local flight Academy but I am willing to look at all options, any guidance is much appreciated.

Thank You.
