While earning your Commercial Pilot License is a major accomplishment, it’s important to understand that it is not the final step before you can apply for airline jobs. Here’s what comes next:
Build Flight Hours as a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
Most airlines require a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight experience before you can be hired as a first officer. One of the most common ways to build these hours is by becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). This allows you to teach student pilots while logging flight hours.
Earn Your Multi-Engine Rating (MER)
For most commercial and airline jobs, you’ll also need a Multi-Engine Rating (MER), which certifies you to operate aircraft with more than one engine. This training focuses on handling multi-engine aircraft, engine-out procedures, and performance differences.
Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) License
Finally, to qualify for an airline job, you’ll need to obtain your Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) License. This is the highest level of pilot certification and qualifies you to serve as a captain or first officer with an airline.
