I need those glasses!!!

Hi Justin from Ecuador, I've been following for year's. My question is how can an overseas pilot with 2000 hrs get a job in the US, is there anyway to get an sponsorship or path to do it ? Thank a lot !

Great interview, thank you both!

Love the show! You should get a prior enlisted veteran on the channel and get them to talk about utilizing their GI Bill towards flight training!

Max would make a great flight instructor!

I’ve been following Paul for a little while and am a new hire at United. I really appreciate his perspective and his videos. His joy for his family and his job are always refreshing. Thanks for this interview. I just found your channel and you do a great job with these interviews!

I know of a bunch of airline guys that still fly GA

So inspiring!!

Great videos! If you ever want to know a perspective from a recently former F-16/F-22 pilot who is about to make the the jump to the airlines in a month, let me know.

Lets goo you got Darren! Another role model pilot, husband, and father

Love this!

I love Darren and his videos thanks for bringing him on . Love his honesty and way of doing videos 🔥🔥🔥

The way the faa handles medical rejections needs to be investigated for negligence. It’s abuse. They are to strict on their requirements for a medical for their system to process reconsideration requests(I’m also sitting on a revoked medical trying to get it back). I wonder if Trump might get wind of this and do something to solve this problem.

I follow Darren on socials and saw this interview pop up on my Instagram and knew I had to watch the entire thing. Great stuff and happy to be a new sub. I will be checking out your other interviews while looking forward to the future ones as well.

Two of my favorite aviation podcasters. Another great interview. Keep ‘em coming.

Great interview! Very relatable in many respects: I’m a career changer as well and just made the jump six months ago, though I’ve been planning this for almost 20 years; I began flight training in 2008, so I know what it was like during the Great Recession - two of my flight instructors were airline pilots that had to come back to flight training temporarily after furloughs; I’m also a big sim guy, that began in the ‘80s. The big difference for me is that there will be a 14 year gap between my commercial ratings and my CFI, which I’m preparing for a January check ride right now. Had to go into this new industry debt-free, and hopefully I can outlast the downturns and do wonderful things in the near future.

Oh Snap! You scored an interview with Darren! Great Work!

What a great interview and wish we had that app when I was flying for the Airlines. Maya is extremely intelligent and explains the product in layman terms along with great ease that does not loose the listener. Best wishes to SkyPath even though I don’t think they need it! I am sure there be a lot more to come from this Company.

This is fantastic. Foreflight (sorry Justin, I know you are Garmin all the way) just released a turbulence layer this year that is somewhat similar, but uses it's own tech (sentry devices) to collect the data to display it for Foreflight users. I think the real genius in Maya's company is it uses the iPad that pilots already have, and doesn't require external stuff and it can be shared with all companies that wants to add this program to their EFB's. Safety shouldn't be proprietary to any single company.

Loved the interview!! Bought the book same day and the podcast. I hope to run into Tom someday. From one Michigander pilot to another. Parallel careers. Midway to American. Cheers.

Outstanding interview. I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in Prescott, AZ, from 1980-85. I remember seeing Tom on campus. He towered over most of us. His life story, combined with the NDE, is very compelling.

One of your better interviews. Love hearing Tom’s story. Thanks for sharing. Now, time for another State of the Industry. Where’s the good professor?

Really great podcast i started watching your channel when i first started flight training and listened to your podcasts when i was building flight hours for my commercial and keeping motivated for studying for my written I just finshed my last rating yesterday my group 1 rating. After Christmas im planning on heading to Ethiopia for Ethiopian airlines. I just wanted to say i really appreciate your podcast. thanks again from CYXE 🇨🇦

Hired at AA without jet time? Hey got so lucky...you can barely get on with a regional now with jet time.

Great interview!

Most of my IFR and IMC was in National Guard Hueys at 90 knots and 2.5 hours fuel. Your experience in Dallas, however, reminds me of flying pipeline patrol through there with a 200' AGL waiver. As part of a 3500 mile loop I flew Sunaco Midwest from Abaline to across the parallel runways at Meacham to the tank farm and then deadhead to Caddo Mills to get on a Phillips Conoco line to Mount Pleasant. At Class B airspace there and around the country, I never enter B but contact only tower. I could see under cells and avoid bad stuff or lay up at will. Severe turbulence is when those things not tied down fly around the cockpit and we must go down with downdraft or stall and go down faster. Pitch down to fly through quickly. And pitch up in updraft to stay in it longer. But most of those serious rivers of air are in the mountains and high desert. Those who use the steering wheel to level the wing call severe what those who use rudder only call moderate. Working our feet with hands free for spot reports also gets our muscle memory ready for short final where we don't want to turn and need no aileron with adverse yaw problems. Thus correct yaw will not only nail the centerline between our legs, but will keep the wing level in no wind or headwind and or stable in the bank for crosswind. If in a crab, rudder will keep the wing level and make slight yaw corrections to direct our butt to target or heading.

I like that I'm getting to catch over here on the debrief after watching you with Josh. The one thing I like from both of you is ( admission.) How many pilots get into it but refuse to admit they are in trouble? The quicker you accept that things aren't going your way the quicker you can start to correct.

Love the podcast, love Josh and aviation101! BUT the GEEBEE? I’m sorry but that’s a childhood favorite of mine and an absolute beast of a flying machine! You hurt me there😂

Enjoyed the debrief. Good stuff

Great episode! I watched the Aviation101 video first and then came here for the in depth debrief. This is the kind of aviation content that is not only entertaining but also valuable. ADM is so important and it’s great when people are willing to share situations and mistakes to help us all be safer pilots. Thanks for the podcast, Pilot to Pilot has been one of my favorites for years while I’m driving around dreaming about flying!

Fantastic interview! Your channel has quickly become a favorite of mine. The long form interview and your style of engagement is excellent. Thanks for dedicating the time. This one deserves many more views.

As of November 15th he has received his first class medical! The podcast helped give it that last push to be official! Congrats to cheese pilot and love the podcast!

50:21 ...hmm, interesting.

Thank you for this advice, I am a 23 years old and I just got out of the Navy, it couldn’t be more perfect timing for me to hear this conversation!

I feel you on that FAA process. Went through quite a long process myself.

10 mins in... This is a wild story.

so do i have to attend college for it? i dont want to go to college i just want to get flight training and not waste more money or tuition

Why didn't you go to Delta in '05? haha. if that isn't the greenest unaware comment you could come up with. He was kind to you.

Fun Interview. I love Paul's inspirational videos. Keep up the great work both of you gents.

Enjoyable video! My Captain son-in-law flew with Paul at Pinnacle when Paul was an FO. 😊

Yo , worlds collide ! Love it

Glad you made this video, I like Paul's content a lot, keep it up!

If i got paid that good and did 14 hours on 7 days on 7 fays off id be a happy i fo 10-14 hours on and 34 hours off a week as a trucl driver i need to become a pilot lol

Does the 3000 prime have functions the G5000 in the Longitude doesn't have?

Thanks for coming to Olathe to demo PRIME and all you do for Garmin!

Great video! Would be interested in hearing more details

Has the retirement age changed in the US to 70 or was that a joke?

Love the channel! Had a quick question regarding regional hiring. How does SIC jet time stack up against CFI PIC time when trying to get on with the regionals? Is the Multi jet time more valuable? Or do they like to see more PIC time even though it’s single engine piston?

actually I am 38, got accepted to a local regional airliner(in ASIA), however am thinking of not joining in. Finished training- CPL through COVID, and did not get offer at that time. I got married, and expecting a child this month October. Found a stable office job to pay for everything including private loans that amounted during training. I asked myself the somber question of whether I wanted to be pilot for the LOVE of IT, or to PROVIDE for my Family, and the answer in my heart was the latter. So, I will be giving renouncing letter to the airliner prob. this month and focus on what I have and can provide for my family. Cannot leave what is secure for something insecure(min. pay OE training, exam, the airliner going through acqusition ,etc..)
