Integrity is that one pillar in your life that is probably most important.

It is that one that builds the trust of others, that people know that they can rely on you.

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 solo episode day. Solo episode day. Nick's singing for some reason.

Probably my lowest performing episode because it kicks off with Nick singing. But today,

man, fun times, fun times, we're talking about something deep again. I've been talking about

a lot of deep stuff lately, things that I think are missing a little bit. And today, I want to tell

you about where I went to college. I went to a college

called The Citadel, which is a military college in South Carolina, in Charleston, South Carolina.

And it is not an easy place to attend. It is actually pretty stressful and a place that demands a lot. It's just, it's military school, right?

But one of the things they do is they drill in really, really, really hard, the code, which is

a cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do. It's super simple. It's the honor code. And if you get caught lying,

cheating, or stealing, or tolerating somebody that does, even just a little bit, even just

the slightest bit, you go before an honor court that is run by students and they decide if you are kicked out of the school

or not. Straight up decide you're gone. And that's it. And you're out because of the honor code.

Because what they're trying to build is integrity. And it's not just a plant farm from Stan's dead on South Park.

Like integrity, there's a lot to it.

I want to dive into it.
