Training for the airlines?
Start with the whole map.
Flight school teaches you to fly. The Airline Pilot Roadmap teaches you the journey — every certificate in order, what each stage really costs, how long it takes, and what airlines screen for at the end. Free to join, free course.
Inside the free Roadmap course
- The full path, step by step — Private → Instrument → Commercial → Multi-Engine → CFI → 1,500 hours → airline hiring → regional training
- What it really costs — honest per-stage ranges (about $60,000–$100,000+ all-in) and how pilots actually pay for it
- Realistic timelines — accelerated vs. part-time, the 1,500-hour rule, and the restricted-ATP shortcuts
- Where pilots get stuck — checkride prep, the hour-building gap, the interview — and how to plan around each one
- The weekly hiring brief — who's hiring first officers, published minimums, and the deadlines that matter, every week
- A community of future professional pilots — ask questions and compare notes with people at your stage
