Hello to everyone on this board:
Well, I am 35 and thinking about changing career to airline pilot or freight pilot. After long discussion(about a year), my wife suggested that I should try out at local FBO wether I like to fly or not - working on my PPL. After 15 hours in a small 152, I found myself speeding when I am going to my lessons. My wife found out I have a lot more smile on my face after 2 hours of lesson plus an hour drive from FBO. Now, my wife is standing behind me on the decision of changing my career. It is a great FBO club for me - saving my tons of money(hour rate are 152, 32 dollars wet, club member, 43 dollars for 172, 149 for piper scenca V)
At the same time, I have few questions. Does airline look at your resume and said "they don't like pilots from accelerated program/academy"? Does where do you train matter to airline career? I also would like to hear people's suggestions about ATP and FSI. These are 2 schools I preferred to go in the near future.
Thanks in advance
