This shows the owner that you are serious. With your initial training and ratings completed – depending on your location – you can increase your options and chances significantly by offering to start on the ground (on the ramp) and/or to do part-time flying and part-time ramp work. So be careful and always show them and their business a lot of respect. Owners understand pilots and their motivations. They also search for people who can add value to their businesses.
They look for people they believe will work hard and who will stay on for a period of time. In actuality, owners run legit businesses and take special care when hiring. In other words, to help them move forward to their airline job. At the same time, many believe the small charter companies should give them instant flying positions to help them achieve their initial 500 or 1000 hours. They clearly ‘have all of the qualifications, know-how, and should be hired immediately'. Interestingly, many pilots walk out of their flight schools with high marks and first-time passes thinking they have made it. And just so you are aware, it is common to be turned away for weeks and months while sending out hundreds of applications to Chief Pilots and Operations Managers. It truly takes dedication and perseverance to get started. If this is your current predicament, we can only say… Welcome to the Aviation Industry! For most pilots… securing the First Flying Job or First Job in Aviation tends to be the biggest challenge.
