Guidance from Alum

"Patience is a virtue, in this type of career, there are ups and downs (literally and figuratively), it might seem like a dread gaining hour requirements or waiting for a checkride date however time will pass. And when it does pass, it’ll go by in a flash. It feels like just yesterday I was doing my first solo cross country flight as a Student Pilot, but today I find myself walking down a jet bridge about to board a jet with my crew as a Captain of a commercial airliner. Enjoy every moment of your training at CAU, as sometimes you will miss it."

Steps to Success

As soon as I obtained all my required ratings and hour experience requirements, I reached out to recruiting teams for various regional airlines, I was fortunate enough to find a recruiter that worked closely with CAU at my current company, GoJet. I commenced my career as a First Officer and after meeting the necessary hour requirements as well as passed all the required training and examinations, I  became a Captain with the same company.

Future Goals

My future hope is to eventually work with one of the “big four” airlines. With my company I am currently in a flow program that will transition me to working for a major mainline company here in the U.S., and should hopefully make that transition in about two years time.
