  • I am a 16 year old kid who really loves anything related to aviation. I am a frequent flier with American Airlines and have achieved Permanent Platinum status. I just hit the 3 million mile marker! My lifetime goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. I have a 3.611 GPA and am 4th in my class. I have flown small airplanes such as Cessna 172 and a Piper Cherokee. All in all I love the sound of flying. Do you have any advice that would help me obtain that goal? Thanks and one heck of a video!

  • I wonder how these guys are doing now with the AMR Bankruptcy in full force..

  • @NormanMartin1000 Stay away from american, they are in bankruptcy as we speak.

  • @NormanMartin1000 I'm literally in almost the same position you are.

  • @NormanMartin1000

    Yeah. Do better in school. Go get a job and some more flight hours.

  • @rev4life03 you are right the Private and corporate part of the Aviation Business is doing allot better at the moment.

    Yes airline pilots get allot of Debt , some of them Never manage to pay Theres off.

  • this video is pretty much what my life is about lol

  • @MaroonCamaro Thanks for the advice! I would have went the military route, but there was only one problem; I am color deficient and the military won't except anyone with that disability. I have checked with a AME and he guaranteed me that I would be able to pass a 1st Class medical with no waivers. Therefore, the civilian route works, but not the military route. /: Again, I appreciate that you took the time to give me some advice. Thanks!

  • @FS98FSX Thanks, I appreciate any advice! I will hope to be able to fly for some sort of regional airline like American Eagle and then work my way up to American Airlines. I just hope that there will be jobs available! Thanks again for the advice!

  • @NormanMartin1000 and also if you want to get your hours for a major airline like Delta, American Airlines, Continental join a commuter airline ASA, Comair, Skywest, Mesaba

  • @NormanMartin1000 Go military if you can. Then you get everything paid for.

    I'd hit up a CFR 61 Flight school and start taking lessons. At 16 you can hold a student pilot certificate and at 17 get your private. It's expensive but a step forward in your career if you don't go military. You'll have to work up in your ratings to an ATP and build some time. Try finding a college with an aviation program so you can get your 4 year degree and fly with the majors later on.
