Have you heard of the Forces to Flyers Program? Welcome to the inspirational, informational, and transparent aviation careers podcast. Remember if you have a question email us at feedback@aviationcareerspodcast.com Before we begin some news and announcements.
Many of you have heard me discuss in past episodes the new Forces To Flyers Program introduced by the US Department of Transportation. We commend the U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao for spearheading this program. We have discussed many of the pathways to the airlines through airline and commercially driven programs but this is the first government program we have discussed on this program. https://www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/acp176-forces-to-flyers-initiative/.
Luckily, Russ was visiting with his friend Bryan Stokes and Bryan happens to be enrolled in the Forces to Flyers program. Russ grabbed his microphone and interviewed Bryan.
