Hey, pilot, we are back at Ready for Pushback.

I'm Nick Fialca.

It's a solo show and you found it, so let's rock and roll.

I have been exhausted the past few weeks.

I don't know how your winter is going if this comes out in winter and you guys are having a winter like mine. It's just been a slog. Like everybody's been sick. Everybody's had a fever. Everybody has a cough. Everybody has a running nose. It's like every kid's been down for the count. And every time I turn around whenever I'm flying, I'm having to de-ice.

There is just crappy weather. Like, I'm over it, y'all. I am ready for the spring. I'm ready to ride my

mountain bike. I'm ready to get after it. Today's show is kind of funny. I was on the old internets and I made a comment on a page about the importance of integrity and the things we say and the things we do.

And somebody, some troll wrote a real hot take about, uh, me like virtue signaling.

And I thought to myself, virtue signaling. And first I was indignant. And then I thought to myself,

hell yeah, virtue signaling. Let's go. So this is a show about virtue. This is a show about prudence and the importance of prudence as a pilot.

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.

You're probably thinking yourself like, all right, I kind of get what prudence means, but what is it,

right? It's when you act with care and caution and thoughtful judgment when you make decisions

or when you take an action.

And that's it.

Care, caution, thoughtful judgment when you're making a decision or taking an action.
