The difference between AM and PM trips? PMs are much better 😁

Does the Hilton Chicago have the best gym in our system? The answer to me is yes. Super solid, everything you need, no excuses.

There is a lot of commotion at the

airports this spring break so me and my daughter decided to take our own plane to Monterey California.

@adastra_flights made it really easy to rent a beautiful SR22T and jam out on our own schedule.

Mindset is everything.

When you walk into RTAG-or any aviation conference-think of it as your interview to get an interview.

Show up sharp.

Bring your résumé.

Be ready to make that first impression count-because recruiters are watching from the moment you shake their hand.

Cuteness overload 🤩 @SouthwestAir

One of the biggest challenges pilots face isn’t ability—it’s uncertainty.

Unclear expectations, conflicting advice, and opaque hiring processes leave many qualified candidates second-guessing themselves. That uncertainty shows up in applications and interviews.
