An unusual path
Podcast guest Jeremy King’s journey to the airlines
There are many paths to becoming an airline pilot. Some start young, focus on getting certificates and ratings quickly, moving on to a regional airline, and then a major airline as soon as possible. Others take a more circuitous route.

Jeremy King
Jeremy King is a pilot for a major airline, a career he had never envisioned as a kid. King was always drawn to mechanical things and working with his hands. A mentor introduced him to aviation and soon he was an airframe and powerplant mechanic, and later became a pilot. Along the way he worked for an airshow act, fixed aerial applicators, and did some flight instruction. His initial goal was never to be an airline pilot, but it’s a career he truly enjoys.
In this episode of Flight Time, a series of Hangar Talk’s best interviews for the Flight Training audience, we talk to King about his path to the airlines, and what advice he has for the next generation.
