If you have a question you'd like us to answer, you can email us at: podcast@propilotplaybook.com Are the latest headlines about slowing airline pilot hiring just a temporary pause or the start of a downward trend? In this episode, aviation career mentors Mike Martin and Sean Richey explain what the real state of the industry is. They also talk about the right approach to flight training, how to build time, and whether airline interviews still matter. Mike and Sean have lots of experience as corporate pilots, so they share tips from the world of private jets, including the different skills required for that type of job. In the Ready to Copy segment, you’ll hear about tough checkrides, how to be a good copilot, and the best airports in America. QUOTES: - Current hiring trends: “There’s a difference between the hiring surge that we had and the true pilot shortage that’s going on in the background.” - Airline hiring 25 years ago: “Your first year you made like $22,000; you had to pay $18,000 back to them for your training.” - Where we are now: “There is no greater time in the history of man, since the Wright brothers first flew, to become a professional pilot.” - What type of flight school is best: “At the end of the day, you’re going to get the same certificates and ratings no matter what you do.” - Why waiting to start flight training can cost you: “For every year you wait, you gotta think about those big bucks on the back end of your career.” - Competition between employers: “This large airline hiring is sucking pilots out of the corporate world like a vacuum cleaner.” - Corporate jobs vs. airline jobs: “The actually volume of flying you is way less. There are many corporate pilots that fly as many hours annually as an airline pilot does in one month.” - How to break into corporate flying: “Be at the airport… you need to be at these airports and you need to see yourself seen and known.” - What makes a good copilot: “The ability to distinguish what’s important from what’s not important.” - Flying celebrities: “I had a perception before I did this… [that] money doesn’t buy happiness and all that. I actually think after years of doing this that that’s a coping mechanism that us poor people say.” SHOW LINKS: - Pro-Pilot Playbook: https://www.propilotplaybook.com - Boeing Pilot Outlook: https://www.boeing.com/commercial/mar... - Pilot Training+ Membership: https://www.sportys.com/sportys-pilot...
