Hey, pilot. Welcome back to Ready for Pushback Solo Show style. It's Thursday. I hope you are having a great day. I have been flying a bit and hanging out a bit and also reaching out to other pilots having conversations with them about where they are in their journey, how to succeed,

and all the pressures that we face these days in the world of aviation.

Every time you turn around, it seems like there's some bad news happening on the headlines in aviation,

and it can get really demoralizing.

Most pilots don't understand what career opportunities are available in the world of aviation.

They're making career decisions based on advice from friends or posts on internet forums,

meaning they are taking huge risks with their livelihood without having all the details.

This podcast was created to help you understand the aviation industry so you can find your dream job.

Let's get ready for pushback.

Here's your host and my dad, Nick Fialca.

Today I want to talk to the pilot that is probably trying to figure out how to get into this industry

and how to get to the place where they can be successful.

And there's two types of people that are basically in a similar situation. There are people

that are right on the cusp of starting flight school, or maybe they had just started,

thinking, looking at 2022 and 2023 and thinking this is going to be great and I'm going to make

it happen. And now they're a little discouraged. Or even

the military folks that are getting out of active duty and they have no control over their timing

and it can just be wildly frustrating. And so let's talk about it. Let's talk about what to do and

what the potential options are and how to get

from where you currently are to a successful job in aviation where you get to do what you really

love and what you are passionate about. And so this is, this is for you, right?

Because there are a bunch of difficult choices that you are going to have to make.
