Connect with An Airline Pilot
With the Pilot Career Coach forums on BeAnAirlinePilot.com, our goal
is to help inform people about a professional pilot career. We do this using a discussion forum format, where each forum is guided by a Pilot Career Coach. Each of
the Pilot Career Coaches trained at ATP and currently flies for an airline. These professional men and women want to help others achieve their career goals by
sharing the lessons they learned along the way to becoming a professional pilot. They make
themselves available to you to answer your questions about the
career, help you establish personal goals, and learn how to best
achieve those goals.
When your Coach is first assigned, you will receive full access to the forum where you can read about his or her experience training; current experience flying the line; and the transition from his or her previous career to becoming an airline pilot. After you’ve read your Coach’s introduction, go ahead and introduce yourself. Share a much or as little as you want.
Ready to join the discussion? There is no cost to you for this opportunity. Request a Pilot Career Coach today!

“Ever since I began my training with ATP, my experience has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING! I received a phone call this morning from American Eagle, offering me a class start date. From ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program to the Regional Jet Standards Certification, everything was what I expected and more. The knowledge I gained in just one week of intensive training in the RJ Certification Program has definitely given me a heads-up of what to expect during my training at American Eagle. Hands down, ATP is the only choice for flight training.”
—Rolando Rodrigues,
ATP Graduate Hired by American Eagle
