"One of the biggest mistakes a recent graduate Commercial Pilot makes is not to continue training..."

Graduating as a Commercial Pilot is not an easy task, especially for a relatively young person, he must go through many obstacles and challenges. But, at the same time while he is progressing towards Instrument and Twin-Engine certifications, and finally gets his or hers Commercial Pilot Certification, they are completely exhausted, and somewhat discouraged with the wrong idea that now immediately will get a flying job.

Although, they already have a Commercial Pilot’s License with approximately 250 flight hours. The biggest problem is that they have the title (License and Certifications) but, they do not have the flight experience.

Therefore, they would need to build additional flight hours and continue their training as Pilot.

The minimum requirements that most of the airlines in the world ask in a job interview, is how much flight experience you have and/or at least, familiarization of the model and type of aircraft that they currently operate, which in most cases are complex Jet airplanes. Based on supply and demand, some of the airlines with the exception of some international carriers ask for at least two years of college, ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) license, and fluency in English.
