Episode 382 Show Notes

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH dig deeper into the time building phase for pilots and the training marathon for air traffic controllers. What do they recommend in these stages? What makes someone a standout candidate for the professional level? How can you prepare to get through this stage successfully? We also discuss hold for release, filing flight plans, and more of your awesome feedback. This was a really fun episode and you don’t want to miss it!
