You two are the most inspirational and motivational page on the web ty,👮🏻‍♂️✈️🇺🇸🛩️

[@JayVazquez]

Another awesome episode! People worry about the cost of training but in my opinion, free flights are the best benefit of being a pilot. You can easily recoup a lot of your training cost. Great episode!, 🙏✈️ Shawn, are you still based at TMB? Mike, it's awesome to geek out on tech. That would be a good episode maybe?

As always, I enjoy your content. Having a 15 year old daughter about to start on her PPL would like to get your thoughts on females wanting to pursue a career in aviation. Possible pathways that maybe most beneficial for a female that also had to consider becoming a mother, one day.

How do you know about Cedar Falls, Iowa??? I am from there and am on the waiting list for flight lessons out of Waterloo!

[@robertoparada7198]

It’s getting harder and harder to find reasons not to pull the trigger in aviation 😂

[@veebra94]

Is there any way that people who are dating lets say a pilot and his gf; is there any way that pilots can secure the flight they’re doing in advance? So that the gf is a passenger on her man’s flight?

[@dannylengyel5830]

Wait...no mention of American Express Platinum card? That's the card you want if you're a traveler.

You guys need to change your song to ‘Vacation’ by Dirty Heads. Great song that describes your channel’s theme
