New Pilot
Hello All,
I am heavily interested in becoming a commercial airline pilot, and I am having a hard time finding concrete information online.
First, I am concerned with my age; I will be 27 this summer and I have noticed that a lot of new pilots start out very young. Does anyone know if this would be a considerable factor?
Second, I am not sure where to go or how to get started. I was looking at the JetBlue Getaeway Select program it would be a 4 year program and it would $125K. According to their website:
"Once meeting all program requirements, including the FAA's 1,500 flight-hour requirement, pilots will become a new hire at JetBlue. At that time, graduates will go through the same orientation and six-week instruction that all E190 first officers complete."
Any feedback or guidance from anyone who is currently trying to obtain there commercial pilot license or is currently a commercial airline pilot would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you all have a great day!
