The ability to give of yourself and to sacrifice and give more than you take is an honorable thing.

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, good day. What's up? Is it a great day today? Is it an amazing day? Is it an

okay day? For me, it's a pretty great day. And I think this is interesting. Doing these
