Hi Carlos. How are things in the Woodlands? There are a lot of ExpressJet and Continental pilots that live there from what I understand.

At your age you certainly have the opportunity to make it to the majors. The first step I would recommend after you are 100% certain you want to go for it is to re-start your private training and attain that certificate. After that you can look at starting the ACPP in Houston.

Hiring is tough right now, but as we pull out of the recession the airlines will need pilots again, as always.

Welcome to the forums. What other questions do you have?
