Hi, I'm 17 and entering my senior year. So, I want to become an airline pilot and I was checking some private flight schools (FTO's, I believe they're called, right?). Well anyway I was woncering what do airline companies looking for in a pilot? Are they looking more for hours of experience or just having a bachelor's degree from some aviation university?
Because I was thinking of getting a multi engine/instrument instructor rating and then teaching to make up flight time until I get the 1500 hours for the FAA's ATP certification. But, I was thinking of getting those ratings in a private aviation school like Orlando Flight Training. Instead of going to a place like Embry-Ridle and using the money I don't have, to pay the giant tuition/fees.
So please, help me! I'm scared
because I don't know what to do and time's running out!
