If you want to succeed in aviation specifically, you have to accumulate your advantages.

Find a way to do the things that other people are not doing because it's easy just to do the status quo.

If you want success, go accumulate some advantages and make it happen.

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.

Hey, pilot, welcome to another solo show. I am Nick Fialca. You have found ready for pushback. We are here today,

just me and you. Hopefully you are on the treadmill or you're doing some kind of workout or maybe

you're commuting. Who knows what you're doing? Hopefully you're not traveling with the kids in the car

because it's never a good

idea. I never know what I'm going to say. I try to bleep everything out, but I don't know. I'm probably

not for your kids. All right. So today's show all happened when I was listening to a podcast that I

like. It's called War Room to Boardroom. And this little episode that I was listening to actually had a friend of mine that you might recognize from episode 46.

His name is Landon Chibben.

Landon is an Army 160th helicopter pilot.

If you know what the Army 160th is, you are cool. If you do not know, you actually do know.

The Army 160th are the sore, the nightstalkers. They are the helicopter pilots from Black Hawk

down. They are the helicopter pilots from the Osama bin Laden raid. They are the helicopter pilots from a lot of things that

you'll never hear about. And that is a super cool thing. And Landon is one of those kind of people.

And he is also a West Point graduate. He is an airline pilot. And he is a really interesting cat who thinks a lot.
