Advice on becoming a pilot

Hello My name is Keyon Brown I am 26 years old. I’m looking forward to getting my commercial pilot license. I’ve been a courier for FedEx Express for 3 years. My ultimate goal is to be one day become a FedEx pilot. I am husband and soon to be father of two. I would love to get some feedback on how to peruse my CPL while being a husband, parent of two and also a full time FedEx employee. What would you guys recommend?

Keyon,

I recommend you spend some time on this forum starting with the FAQs as I’m certain it will answer most if not all your questions. After that feel free to come back and ask some specifics.

Thanks! Is it hard having a family and being a pilot? I’m

Keyon,

In the beginning it can be. Everything in aviation is based on seniority. In the beginning when you’re a junior pilot you can expect to have very little input regarding your schedule and can expect to work weekends and holidays until you build some seniority and that will continue with every progression. But like most things with a supportive family you can make it work.
