Thank you notes are really important and there is a big thing you should think about and that is the importance of praising somebody and the impact that it has on them.

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, what's up?

It's Nick.

Welcome to a solo episode, and I want to read you something.

All right?

Listen to this.

Nick, thanks so much for helping me land my dream job. As promised, here is some tridealt swag. Signed sorority girl Morgan.

Do you know why I read you that? Because I went to the mailbox. Actually, my son went to the

mailbox and he came back with a little box. And in that box was some stuff, but what was most

awesome was the fact that this box had a handwritten thank you note in it. And that thank you note, not only was this

awesome girl Morgan that I worked with to help her get her job, it's personalized. It's got her

name on it. It's got her initials on it. It's beautiful paper. It's embossed. It came with

its own envelope. She spent some money on this. And man, my wife,

my wife is a calligrapher and a writer and we have so much stationary. But let me tell you,

this thank you note, she sent me, so she's a Tri-Delta sorority girl, which is super fun.

She sent me an awesome hat and a sticker and some really sweet stuff.
