    You are correct. The one thing that is 100% about the industry is that it is in constant change. A decision and announcement about new hiring and training can be made one day, and the message the next day will completely reverse. I managed to work without interruption for all 37 years. Change is constant. Hang in there. It is the best job I could ever have had.

    As a military pilot about to make the transition, the one factor that’s not usually considered in future hiring trends is global conflict. WHEN the next war happens, it has the potential to drastically change the civilian airline industry. Live below your means, save and invest for the inevitable rainy day, and never put all your eggs in a single basket.

Although all of this is going down, I’m really not that concerned for my future at an airline. I’m not an expert by any means, but I know that there will likely still be a demand for pilots when I graduate and after I get my hours. Thanks for the update Garrett and great video as always!

    Agreed but it is a hard job to obtain from what I’ve been told. They wont hire DPEs unless there is a demand for them. The demand criteria is time between when you apply for your check ride via IACRA and when it is taken. Usually your CFI will call the DPE direct get a date and then fly said student up to that date only signing IACRA a day or two before to make sure they have met all standards per ACS/PTS. Therefore it doesn’t look like there is any real need. Which obviously there is. Not mention the other requirements to be a DPE. I believe the current average is like 1/2 check rides a month across the board of all DPEs. It’s wild.

  • @andrewwilde8327

    There are specific universities and/or flight school that are part 141 which have been approved based on curriculum for a Restricted ATP. Normally, 1500 hrs is needed for an ATP. With a restricted ATP, you only need a minimum of 1250 or even 1000. (Military pilot cases can even potentially do around 750 if I remember correctly.) Not every school offers this. The FAA has a list of school that have been approved for this, you can find it by google searching for “FAA approved restricted ATP 141 schools” I am not certain that a bachelors degree is required to get the R-ATP, though most if not all universities do require you to get a degree alongside your flight training. I could be wrong about this, maybe someone else can chime in

    There are a set list of universities and flight schools whose graduates qualify for a restricted atp at 1250, or even 1000 hrs instead of 1500. These are generally if not all 141 schools, not part 61. Pretty sure military pilots can get a restricted atp at 750hrs in some cases, but I’m not sure on that. Also not sure if a restricted atp requires a degree or not, but most university programs will make you get a degree alongside your flight training. I don’t think the degree has to be aviation related either. Maybe someone else can chip in on this. There’s a list of approved R-ATP schools the FAA has put out that you can find by google searching “FAA approved R-ATP flight school”. If you’re looking to go to a university and get a restricted ATP with a degree, I suggest you also look into regional airline partners. For example, in southern Utah near SkyWest HQ, there are two universities that have “partnered” with SkyWest, and offer a restricted ATP. Graduates of these universities can get into the SkyWest cadet program, which has some perks. SkyWest even has tuition/flight training reimbursement for FOs who go through one of their partner school and cadet program, up to $17,000 or so. If you’re already considering a 141 university, I’d look into school partnerships as well before deciding just in case you see something you like.

    There is a list of approved universities whose graduates can get a restricted ATP. (R-ATP: Meaning 1250 or even 1,000 hrs instead of 1500.) you can find the list here: www.faa.gov/pilots/training/atp/media/Institutional_Authority_List.pdf Pretty sure military pilots can get a r-atp at like 750hrs but I’m not positive. I don’t know for sure if a degree is required, but most universities will make you go to school alongside your flight training. I don’t think it has to be an aviation degree though. If you’re looking to go to a university program to get a restricted atp, I suggest you also look into regional airline partners schools. For example, a couple universities in Utah near the SkyWest HQ have partnered with SkyWest. Their graduates not only get a R-ATP, but get access to SkyWest’s cadet program and could qualify for up to $17,000 flight training reimbursement from SkyWest if you become a FO with them. You also get some other benefits from their cadet program. Worth looking into if you’re going to a university anyways. Just my 2 cents

    Domestic flights are probably OK, but international flights are a no no. The other issue is safety. How Are you planing to keep food safe to eat for more than 24 hours? Crew trips are often 3/4 days and sometimes 5/6 days. You’re going to end up eating airport/city restaurant food on a very regular basis. Disruption is a fact of life in the airline industry. You need to be willing/able on occasions to eat whatever’s available when it’s available. Regular predictable mealtimes with exactly the food you want is often not possible.
