Hi, I am a 16 year old with a dream of flying. In particular, i would love to fly for Emirates. I have seen pictures of Dubai, read about the company, and i feel like that company is amazing. Not to say i wouldn't be happy flying anywhere else, but the lifestyle of an Emirates pilot wins me over.
Right now i am enrolled in the college of southern nevada high school. It is a program where students can earn both their Associates degree and their high school diploma. I am getting my AA in applied science of aviation, and by the time i graduate i will hopefully have both my private pilots and instrument while in the program. I would have my commercial as well, but i won't be 18 when i graduate. So, after graduation, i am hoping to earn my commercial ASAP.
Once i recieve that, i would love to join Scenic. It is a local company where i could earn LOTS of multi time (they fly twin otters). After getting multi time, i would hopefully join a regional airline, where i would stay for some time.
Now, if i work very hard at a regional and gets lots of time quickly, is it possible for me to have minimums for Emirates by age 25/26? See, i really want to be there at the youngest age possible. I will have most of the required ratings by age 18, the only hard part (it seems) would be getting enough seniority in an airline to get a lot of time.
I know the path i have chosen might be different than most people's, and i know i have chosen a very difficult path as well. I am a straight "A" student in school, very driven, everything.
I know this path isn't perfect either, so what im asking for is advice. Any ideas you have would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you very much for you time, and any advice is welcome!!
