Am I making a mistake?

Do you want to work in Canada or the US?

I want to live and work out of the US. I lived in Chicago for 5 yrs and Clevland for 5 yrs, been in Canada for 10yrs. Definatley want to live somewhere in the southern part of the US. Maybe somewhere in Europe, but then I've never been to Europe so as of right now, I definetley want to work in the US.

In the US you will need Private Single, Instrument Airplane, Commercial Single, Commercial Multi...and then your instructor certificates if you go that route.

If money isn't a problem, DCA is the place for you, or you could try AriBen or ATPS. Orrrrrrrrrrrrr if money isn't a problem, just ramp up your training where you are now. Shouldn't take you long if money is not a problem.

DCA cannot guarantee you a real job anywhere.

The problem as to where I am right now is that, the weather isn't really the best for flying (Mississauga, Ontario) and I get cancelled alot and secondly there's no pressure on me to get it done in the program I'm at now, it's really laid back, as am I. I think an academy where I fly and go to school 24/7 would be the best thing to push me to get this done.

I need my Instructor certificate? I don't want to be an instructor.

I'll also have to apply for citizenship, as I was born in Canada (moved Clevland when I was 9 months old), unfortuantly I don't have a dual even, though I have lived in the US half my life (10 yrs) and my two sisters have dual, as they were born in Chicago. So I shouldn't have to much a problem.

Guys, he said $$mOnEy$$ is not an Isth'U (issue for those of you in rio linda)

So he does not need to be an instructor! :bomb::smash:

Oh right. Well, to get hired with an airline, you'll typically need between 600-1000 hours, with 100-200 being in multi engine airplanes. If you can afford to buy all that time, more power to you...

Do whatever you want. Its your money and your life/career.

If money was no option for me, I'd move to a flying friendly climate, buy a Cessna 172, and get all my single engine certificates and ratings and then sell it. Then buy a light twin and get my multi engine certificates and ratings, and fly all over the country, building time and enjoying life.
