That was a great story in perseverance. Broken leg, 9/11, balancing family/work, Covid and now living the dream. I really love the inspiration for all of the little ones out there that have that dream, it's so important for them to know that they CAN do it.
I can't believe I stumbled onto this. Erika, I was in your ATR class at Eagle! I knew you would end up doing amazing things! Congratulations to you. You look fantastic and are a wonderful speaker.
What an fantastic interview with such amazing, smart and classy woman!! I really watching it. Thank you for doing this! All the best from Warsaw, Poland.
Another great episode! It was fantastic to hear Captain Erika's incredible accomplishments. Thanks for sharing such rich stories from across the industry.
Wonderful. Particularly struck by Captain Erika's story of the shift in safety culture over the last 20 years and how risk-taking equated to skill, at least for some 'macho' types. Great question, and great insight.
What a great story. I’m considering being a pilot as my career choice. If I do I’m going to relocate to Europe for my training and first 3-5 years flying commercially. USA regulations make it nearly impossible for someone on a modest budget to get certified and flying. My dream is similar to your story. One of my major commercial dreams is to fly an Airbus 220. I love that machine!! Thanks for sharing Cap
This interview was amazing, I love these pod cast. I want to thank Captain Erika for sharing her pilot life and her journey. Does Captain Erika have a social media that she posts her flying also ? Again, thank you both for opening and sharing your life stories.... Dreams do become a Reality !
Brendan you do the most important thing that is so rare. You let your guests speak. Alaska would be very smart to use this skill in interviews and training. Great listening skills. So many ups and downs in your career window. I imagine you know a lot of great pilots that had to leave to support their families. Couldn’t ride it out. This interview will be shared by many women looking to become pilots. Now give us an ILS into Seward… lol

Very much enjoyed this interview...thank you!
Another amazing podcast! Great to see another reunion of two Former QX let alone Q400 pilots. Thanks for the great content Branden.
Another great interview!
Great video and very inspirational.
At 30:04 the caption reads Boeing 757 but the aircraft in the picture is a AIRBUS A321 otherwise it was a great interview.
Good catch!
My Aunt worked for Horizon in customer service. She really enjoyed the company.
Oh that waypoint is definitely named after her!!!! How cool!

Great vid! The one dislike is from a united pilot!
Never met men who could except this profession piloting...
Manual trims have caused a few Airlines to go down because they forgot to set their trim
Captain, did you ever fly with Roger Stranburg?
I did not! Thanks for watching!
great time
Very nice story-nicely-executed interview! Maybe your calling is journalism (not)🤣
😂🤣😂 Ummmm, no!✈️
Delta AIR LINES
Fixed it! Thanks for the correction…sent me down an internet deep dive into why some airlines use “air line” and some use “airline”. 👨✈️
