In college I began taking flight lessons at a small part 61 school and I eventually obtained my private license. I was immediately hooked and I knew I had to do this for the rest of my life. I began to look for flight schools in the Orlando area and stumbled across L3. The structure and resemblance of how an airline is ran attracted me immediately to L3. I quickly enrolled and began my journey in becoming a pilot. The training at L3 was very rigorous and demanding, and the challenges that I faced there helped me grow as a person and molded me into the pilot that I am today. In just 12 months I was able to obtain everything, from my instrument rating all the way to my CFI. A few months after that I got my CFII and MEI and eventually became a Check Airman. I worked for L3 for about 14 months before I became eligible to work for an airline.
Flying in the airlines brings another level of complexity to flying. Since L3 operates and trains a pilot similar to how an airline pilot is trained, I was well prepared for what was ahead of me. I began my training at Endeavor Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Airlines. After two almost never-ending months, I obtained my ATP and have been working there ever since. Later in this upcoming summer it will be two years in the airline world. I plan to upgrade to captain later on in the year and eventually go to a major airline. Flying in the airline world is amazing. I love being able to get in an airplane, fly at 30,000 feet, and go 500mphs. The freedom of being able to be in so many different places in just a short amount of time is still something that boggles my mind.
Becoming a pilot has been the most difficult, yet most rewarding accomplishment that I have ever had to do in my life. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, here’s a top 10 list of why I believe someone should become a pilot:
Flying is an amazing and addictive career, one that after you start, you won’t be able to stop. My biggest piece of advice to anyone who is thinking of becoming a pilot is to just do it. It is a very serious and long commitment, but it is one that will change your life forever.
