0:00.0	The world that we live in is filled with people that are talented and they're smart and they're
0:05.7	capable. But the success of those people is not reserved for talent. Most pilots don't understand
0:14.0	what career opportunities are available in the world of aviation. They're making career decisions
0:20.1	based on advice from friends or posts on
0:22.6	internet forums, meaning they are taking huge risks with their livelihood without having all
0:28.0	the details. This podcast was created to help you understand the aviation industry so you can
0:34.3	find your dream job. Let's get ready for pushback. Here's your host and my dad,
0:41.1	Nick Fialca. Hey, Pilate, welcome back. It's another solo show. You've got ready for pushback.

1:46.5	house where we're going to be here for a long time. And so when we lived in Texas and California,
1:52.6	as he was little like eight years old and a little older, he got into mountain biking. We used to go ride trails all over Texas and all over California. And we moved here to Atlanta and he joined a mountain bike team, which is awesome. It's sanctioned through a larger system of schools. So it's pretty well organized. Well, I tell you all that to tell you that now we're in seventh grade and it's science fair day.
2:21.7	There's science fair, I don't know, time frame?
