Second Career Question

[NorthernTrend]

Greetings,

I'm seeking advice on whether to continue flight training at a Toronto based FTU or to continue on with Multi-IFR/CPL training on a piper seneca I have access to with a hired instructor.

I'm an early 30's chap currently a few hours short of a PPL flight test. With my sights set on a flying career, does the completion of flight training at a "recognized" FTU greatly increase one's odds of third-tier operator interest? Are the logistics of getting insured and legal in a colleague's aircraft worth any possible cost savings?


kind regards,

NT

If you can get all your licensing done cheaper borrowing/ renting someone elses plane go for it. When you have your commercial license no one will care where you got it from because quite frankly you ll have the exact same experience as the next guy with a new minted cpl/mifr. None.

Make friends, chat with the old guys around the airport they ll give you some tips that a instructor at a Ftu who has 200 more hours than you can't.

Cheers good luck and happy flying
