No: It was "DannyJones" response to his own post...edited by Noorah101. Why is "DannyJones" telling himself to come back when his potential employer tells him which visa they'll get for him. :rofl:

Sounds like a bloody pain. Do you reckon it is still possible? Would it require a Immigration lawyer etc ?
* For any pedants out there, there is an "in lieu of L-1" B-1/B-2 visa that is possible under some circumstances, but the OP in this case isn't eligible for an L-1 anyway. |

Thanks. Part time. I suspect he wants/needs/requires/would suit, an M1. |

Re: HELP - Job Offer in US
Lufthansa has a flight school in Goodyear (Phoenix) that they send their future pilots to. I don't know how that works as to salary-tuition-room and board or visas......

I've mentioned he'd need to be self sufficient and to research the various visas.. |
Re: HELP - Job Offer in US
Boiler nailed it. Most people in the US have no clue about the ins and outs of the immigration system, because they have interaction with it.
That's why I cringe when you get people saying about illegal aliens... that "they should just do it legally". They don't understand that for most people, there is no pathway to do that. I'm sure that the man OP was talking to meant well and said what he did in good faith. He's just ignorant and didn't know better. OP, don't shutter your dreams but realize this needs to be a long term goal. There's heavy competition from a glut of military pilots. I know two guys who fly 737 and 747s for United. They're both pretty senior (former military pilots) and make good money. (They bid for routes - weird, huh?) Anyway, they paid their dues and moved up. A former neighbor of mine was also ex-military, and flew a twin turboprop commuter aircraft. His salary? $23,000. Less than a buss driver. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer. Just go into it with your eyes open. |

Re: HELP - Job Offer in US
I know it is about $15k to get a PPL, now I do not know what it is to fly Commercial, will ask.

Re: HELP - Job Offer in US
From what I've seen it's close to $90k to get all the required multi-engine and air transport ratings. Even then, you don't have enough hours to fly for a regional airline as a Part 129 pilot. As Pulaski rightly says, new pilots have to increase their PIC flight hours by flying any way they can, including as an instructor pilot.
|
Re: HELP - Job Offer in US
Getting a private and commercial and instrument and flight instructor rating takes about 350 hours. Once you have this the next step is flight instructing to build hours at no cost plus earn something to live on. Most basic flight instructors in my area charge $25 to $35 per hour. The good news is today there are jobs out there for pilots much more so than in the past. |
