How can I get an interview with a Pilot?

My plan to be an Airline Pilot?

  • Well I have researched quite a bit on becoming a airline pilot. My plan is to major in aviation, yes most will say that's bad, but I plan to shot for a pilot slot to build hours in Air National Guard during or after college. I know a very high seniority pilot (in top 200) in Delta and i have a very good family friends that is a 2 star Major General in the Air Force. They have given me great information, but is my plan worth going for? Can they help me get a slot or interview? I plan on going to Auburn, so I change majors if needed. Any tips? What are some of the best plans on becoming a pilot military or nonmilitary.

  • Answer:

    You're college degree choice is a big mistake. What are you going to do when you get furloughed from Delta after only being there for 6 months, and there are no other aviation companies hiring pilots (because so many pilots are on furlough)? Furloughs like that last for years. I guarantee that you will regret that college degree choice later in life.

Aviation degrees are only bad if you don't enjoy aviation. You should be majoring in something you enjoy. And if you enjoy aviation and aviation degree is not bad. I guess i'll share my plan because I think it is pretty good. I plan on starting training for my PPL when I turn 16. I figure i'll get my PPL after about 17 years old or so (i figure it will take a bit over a year) I'll get my IFR some time after high school. After college i'm going to get my Commercial Multi-engine. I plan on working small jobs like CFI and some charter flying to build time and expierence. My actual plan is a lot more detailed than that. It's just a basic overview. I would say the best plans should be prepared for failure. So once you get your plan. Think of another plan if something in your other plan doesn't work out.
