ACP079 – Burn Out, Scholarships, and Moving Your Aviation Career Forward


AWSTCover1March2015

We are back after a brief delay. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. In this episode I have a bunch of listener email to answer coping with burn out, getting your ratings current after a lapse and how to pay for it, and a number of questions about moving your aviation career forward.

In this episode I discuss:

  • How to cope with burn out
  • Getting your ratings current after a lapse and using scholarships to pay for it.
  • A request for an interview of someone in aerial fire fighting.
  • What to do when you have a training failure on your record.
  • Advice on different regionals and what to consider when applying.
  • A "thank you" for your advice on being over-prepared in training and update on career progress.
  • An update from someone that cannot get medical but found another aviation job.
  • A member of the community said "thanks" for interviewing someone about the Veterans Airlift Program and donated $500.
  • Is 44 to old to start working towards flying for a major airline?
  • Is tilt rotor time considered by airlines as fixed wing or helicopter type hours?
  • Question about what kind of scholarships to look for to obtain a CFI.
