Maybe a coaching session for advice on how to do it. Thank you From Contact Page: Hello, I am a recent college graduate in civil engineering considering a career change to become a pilot. I have listened to your podcasts and appreciate all the tips and information you provide! I have been working my engineering job for almost a year and am considering whether committing to an accelerated flight school like ATP or a local flight school is right for me. Time and money are large components of what I decide. What are your thoughts? And what advice would you share in a situation like this? Thank you! From Contact Page: Please how does one get the scholarship guide? From Contact Page: Hello, I am looking for information on scholarships to start pilot lessons. Thank you for your consideration. From Contact Page: I currently fly a Cessna Grand Caravan as an aerial survey pilot. Consequently, I am logging Turbine PIC. The hours I fly are typically (90%) day VFR. This is a Part 91 operation. The schedule with the MEDEVAC operation is much better than my current schedule, but the pay is a bit worse. Fair trade in my opinion. I'm still a time builder (about 540 hours to my R-ATP minimums, about 490 to my 135 PIC mins) My 2-4 year goal is to fly for NetJets or a Florida-based LCC, as I would like to be Florida-based long term. My question is this should I build Turbine PIC SEL vs Turbine SIC MEL? Do hiring managers at big companies like I listed care about something like this? I've been told in the past that having the most multi-time possible is a good thing. Currently, I meet the ATP multi-engine and PIC requirements. I do need the night and instrument hours, which I believe I would log a lot of if I go with the King Air position. Thanks for reading my email, I've been a long-time listener of the podcast. This podcast is the reason I attended Polk State College. You may remember showing me around your office once a couple of years ago, I hope you still have the photo of Lindbergh on your wall.
