Last week, I had the honor of being the FO on my colleague carol brennan ‘s retirement flight. Carol has been a flight attendant for 45 years; 42 of them with Air Wisconsin Airlines. What a privilege to meet and work with a professional of Carol’s caliber…https://t.co/6b7aOdWVVh

Today has been 33 years in the making!

Today, I passed my checkride to become an Airline Transport Pilot - a “real” airline pilot. Ever since I was a kid, this has been a dream that has lingered in the back of my head. And today it became a reality.

This is my home for the next few weeks while I finish up the last phase of pilot training here at Air Wisconsin Airlines! It’s a ton of work to prepare and train to fly the CRJ-200, but also a ton of fun as well. I’ve met some very talented pilots here an…https://t.co/lKywvlT7hB

To all my friends and former colleagues at Silicon Valley Bank, I wanted to let you know that I’ve been thinking about you all day today.

I had three jobs today…

Before lunch, I was a product management consultant teaching 40 product managers about solution strategies, MVPs, and story maps.

After lunch, I was an airline pilot working to prep for my sim sessions in a few weeks.

Part of our Air Wisconsin Airlines training profile is to observe several flights from the cockpit jumpseat. It gives us a good sense of how to put what we learn into practice. Today was my day to ride along from ORD-LEX (that’s Chicago to Lexington, KY)…https://t.co/F5njW65MER

Today has been all about practicing checklists and flows. We call it flying the “paper tiger” with James Welch, MA, Aaron and Tom. Super necessary before getting into the sims. It was a tough, but worth while, several hours.

One week closer… today was at the Air Wisconsin Airlines hangar actually working with the plans. Preflight walk around, doors and flight deck familiarization. https://t.co/0ucFRZu2Gu

[Kevin Rosengren @krosengren]

We got a sneak peek today at our next phase of training at Air Wisconsin Airlines - Cockpit Procedures. This is where we practice flows, configurations, checklists, etc. in a touchscreen simulator that reacts to the buttons and switches we activate. https://t.co/yV6m1Rtuw9

Capital One friends, as I scroll through LinkedIn today, my heart hurts for what you are going through after such a tough week.

My former colleague Miro Lehky was the first person to really explain what dispatchers do. The more I learned this week about the close partnership between flight crew and #dispatcher, the more respect I have this critical role in the operations of the ai…https://t.co/bZfPAUEArh
