This is gradually becoming my number one podcast for all things aviation. Like real life experiences 😎.
I learnt a lot from Jimmy’s experience and career path. Another wonderful discussion, keep up the good work Nik🙂 👍🏽. Love to see Jimmy back on here again.
Hey thanks!!!! I love that you said gradually. That makes me smile a bit. That’s how I wore my wife down to finally marry me!
Appreciate that feedback!
Nik! I was wondering if you had any episodes or knew any information on the aviation industry in other countries. Do you know any Americans who went to work in Europe? I'm wondering what the industries are like over there.
Great question. In general, Europe flying is very different than what we do here. Airlines like KLM have their own academies that slowly fleet you up into their system. There are many barriers to entry and often lower pay which typically keeps Americans out of it.
Interesting story.
Thanks!
Not an uncommon one, this career is full of mountains and valleys
@@Ready4Pushback I have a request in the same line as ups and downs of jimmy. Can you find stories or guys willing to share mistakes that cost them a job. And how they recovered or maybe didn’t? What does one have to do so badly to get fired after probation from a regional. And is there anyway to save the career or is it truck driving for the rest of their life?
@@Catpanl I’m all over it. I’ll be looking for more people willing to talk about their difficulties
@@Ready4Pushback great! Thanks!
