Should Professional Pilots Pursue Advanced Training?

The question of whether or not you, as a professional pilot, should pursue advanced training may seem like it’s up for debate. If you have a sufficient rating to go out and start looking for work, why waste time adding unnecessary ratings that you may never need to use in your daily life as a pilot? It seems cut and dry. But stop and think for a second. Do you want a bare minimum job? Do you want a bare minimum life? We didn’t think so. Upper Limit Aviation (1-855-HELIEDU) believes that professional pilots who only ever pursue the bare minimum, are likely only to ever see the bare minimum rewards of life as a pilot.

How is Advanced Training Useful to Professional Pilots?

Don’t get us wrong, the bare minimum of life available to a pilot may still allow you to get up into the air and fly for a living every day -- and that’s hard to beat! But, with so many opportunities available to new pilots who are willing to put in the work, why stop there? Obtaining advanced ratings will tell your future employer that you’re the kind of worker who is driven to success and motivated to pursue excellence at all turns. Employers look for that kind of initiative when they are seeking the very best pilots for the most desirable jobs. Ultimately, extra training equals extra knowledge. Professional pilots with knowledge and experience who are prepared for any situation will always beat out the bare minimum pilot when it comes to finding a good job.

Upper Limit Aviation has a reputation in this industry for training pilots to a high degree of excellence. We fiercely maintain that reputation by focusing our efforts on producing the best pilot we can. We believe that when our graduates leave, they are the calling card that bears our name throughout their careers. Pilots who come back for extra training will demonstrate this commitment to excellence by showing up to work more skilled and more prepared than their colleagues.
