Listener Feedback:

  • A flight attendant who was considering a job as an airline pilot  has decided not to pursue a flying career.
  • Steve Molos provides more advice for the military pilot from last episode.
  • Can you do an episode on what it is like to be a UAV pilot?
  • A listener interested in an airline pilot carer hears many negative comments in the online forums.
  • Do you think it would be better at this point to try to ‘fast track’ my training by taking on debt, or to pay as I go while working my current job?
  • Is an airline job a realistic goal for someone starting where I am, or should I concentrate on other flying jobs?
  • I would like to professionally fly planes and make 60 thousand a year. Is this practical?
