Should You Become An Airline Pilot In 2025?

If you're watching this because you're serious about becoming a pilot, this next part is important.

One of the biggest mistakes new pilots make is choosing the wrong flight school. It can cost you thousands of dollars, delay your training, or even push you out of aviation altogether.

That’s why I created a course called How to Choose the Right Flight School. It’s $29 and includes everything I wish someone told me at the beginning: video lessons, a red flag checklist, and a workbook to help you compare programs side-by-side.

Take the course before you enroll anywhere.
