The Story Behind the Tools
YOUR BACKGROUND
SHOULDN'T HOLD YOU BACK.

Hey — I'm Isaac. Founder of Make It To The Majors, creator of the Land The Interview guide and the Get Started in 30 Days checklist.

I've made plenty of mistakes, and I know what it's like to feel discouraged, disappointed, and behind on the journey to becoming a major airline pilot.

Before I started flying I was a dishwasher — no money, no education, and no direction. I know what the obstacles are to overcome, and more importantly, I've learned what it takes to be successful and stand out above other applicants in this highly competitive field.

I've always loved teaching and mentoring, helping pilots of all ages, stages, and experience levels. That's why I started Make It To The Majors — because I want to continue helping others grow their careers and their wealth potential. Thank you for stopping by!

"The path to the majors is real, and it works — no matter where you're starting from. What it takes is a plan, a little stubborn persistence, and a clear picture of what actually matters along the way."

— Isaac, Major Airline First Officer
01
Where It Started
Dropped out of high school. Washing dishes. No money, no connections, no one in my life who flew planes.
02
The Detour That Stuck
Went back for my diploma. Walked into a community college ground school class on a whim. Never really walked back out.
03
Teaching
Flight Instructor. Spent a few years working with students, and fell in love with the teaching side of this whole thing.
04
The Regionals
Eight years at a regional airline. Built hours, earned experience, and paid close attention to what the majors were actually looking for.
05
The Majors
Made it. Flying for a major US airline — still slightly surprised I get to do this for a living.
NOW
Make It To The Majors
Paying it forward. Putting together the tools and honest guidance I wish someone had handed me when I was starting out.
