Flight Training - April 2013 - 9
am a “green” pilot of about one year and
150 hours. I have no intention of ever pursuing aviation as a career, mostly because
I make a good living and the investment
would never be worth the return. I do
think an aviation career would be a lot
more enjoyable though!
I wanted to comment on the subject
article in the February issue (“Career
Advisor: Hiring Boom or Bust?”). While
I sympathize with David and completely
agree with his position that flight instruction can’t possibly be a viable way of
making a living and that getting on to
an airline is quite difficult, I have to say
that he really has himself to blame for
part of his problem. David says that he
has 1,400 hours and only a two-year
degree. Based on that he does not qualify
for the proposed new standards. No airline
is going to hire him without attainment
of the minimum proposed standards.
Had David gotten a four-year degree his
chances of being hired would have been
much higher. Once David has his 1,500
hours I would assume his chances will also
increase dramatically. David is correct on
all accounts, but he forgot to point the finger at himself for some of his problems. I
was also surprised that you didn’t bring
that up as well.
