Hello folks and welcome aboard episode 13. As many of you know I love flying airplanes no matter what the size and type. I enjoy my days off flying slowly over the diverse terrain seeing the world from a perspective only a pilot can enjoy. As a matter of fact I like flying so much I not only fly for fun I fly for a living as an airline captain.
My view from the cockpit of an airliner is wonderful. The difference between flying as a hobby and flying as a Captain is I get paid to see these wonderful sites and visit destinations around the country and world! Many of you listening may also find the prospects of flying around the world appealing and that is why you are listening to me today.
With this podcast I hope I will be able to bring you into the cockpit and into the world of aviation careers to discover if this is a career field you would enjoy. Remember there are many jobs in aviation even though we focus on flying jobs. I want to bring you into the entire world of aviation careers by interviewing people who are involved in all the career fields associated with aviation.
If you want to hear from one very passionate person who loves the world of aviation but doesn’t fly you should listen to Maxx Flight in episode 5. Maxx is the host of The Airplane Geeks podcast and when he is not working in the aviation field he is talking about aviation. Maxx has held many jobs in aviation and has a very interesting perspective when it comes to aviation careers. You can listen to Maxx’s interview by going to AviationCareersPodcast.com/5. I think you will really enjoy listening to what Maxx has to say.
