Answering some of my most asked questions as an airline pilot ✈️ Q: Where did you go to flight school? A: I went to SIU Carbondale. Q: Did you go to college or flight school? A: Both! SIU is a Part 141 aviation program, so I got two degrees while getting my ratings: a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management and an Associate of Applied Science in Aviation Flight. Q: How long did it take you to become a pilot? A: My first flight was April 11, 2018 and I passed my ATP checkride on April 26, 2025, so just over 7 years. Q: How many flight hours did you need? A: I only needed 1000 hours because I have a restricted ATP from going to an accredited Part 141 university. Q: How much did it cost? A: Honestly… I have no idea. Between loans, tuition, fun rental flights, ground schools, Sheppard Air, all the written exams, multi engine time building, DPE costs (iykyk)… it’s impossible to add up. Q: Did you take out loans? A: Yes, I used student loans through my college. Anything the loans didn’t cover came from savings, and I worked through college as well.  Q: How did you build flight time? A: I instructed at SIU in Carbondale IL and UND Aerospace Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona. Q: What aircraft do you fly? A: CRJ550 (CL-65 type rating) Q: Do you fly domestic or international? A: Both, but international is just Ottawa, Canada lol. Hoping we get Mexico routes through our new Houston base!🤞🏽 Q: What’s your schedule like? A: It changes every month, but I’m pretty senior so I usually get what I bid for. We find out our schedule 2 weeks prior to that month starting. Anywhere from 1 day trips to 5 day trips.  Q: How many days do you work per month? A: Usually around 12–14 days. Q: Do you get to travel a lot? A: Yes, luckily with my seniority I have been getting off the days I request! I have at least one trip planned every month through August this year, I’m so excited. Q: What’s the hardest part of the job? A: The sleep schedule. I track it with my @WHOOP which gives me a lot of insight on how I can try to improve my sleep. Q: What’s your favorite part? A: The sense of purpose this job gives me! Q: What’s something people don’t know about being a pilot? A: We don’t just do one flight a day usually, especially at regionals. We can be scheduled to fly up to 5 flights in a single day. Q: I want to be a pilot, how can I start? A: Look up local flight schools near you, and book a discovery flight! You can go fly a small plane, and talk to a flight instructor about flight training and the financials.  If I missed anything, drop your questions below and I’ll try to answer them #femalepilot #womeninaviation #airlinepilot #pilotlife #womeninmalefields
