    Ern,
    I will hopefully start flight school late this year (if I get accepted). I just flew in and *actually* flew an aerobatic plane on Saturday through an event in my local EAA chapter. Told my pilot I had over 200hrs on flight sims, I have a flight sim setup at home, etc. and he just said "oh, well go ahead and fly VFR back to the airport". The thrill of actually flying a plane was unreal. It inspired me to ask pilots and students of the academy I'm looking at about their experience and they all loved it. One of the students said her friend is in Pensacola, FL, training for SWA. My question is: how do you like your job at SWA? I'm going to try to get into Destination 225° right out of high school. Just wondering which path to a pilot at SWA is the best.
    Thanks,
    SWA's biggest fan.
    P.S. my dad actually worked on a huge project at SEA, building that massive passenger bridge to the international terminal

    Hey Capn Big Ern - Since You have spoken SO Much about Pilot career path & joining SWA, I was surprised we did not get a better Background thumbnail for F.O. Nick - other than flying a corporate jet. It would have been very interesting to know his full aviation path to becoming a pilot & progressing to becoming an airline F.O.. Nick seems to be a good guy & is a living example of landing an airline job that might provide a solid example for others considering the same thing, that You have spoken about often in the past.🤔 Also is he based in PHX or had to start commuting as a new SWA pilot.
    P.S. Good to see a new episode.😎

    Glad you guys enjoyed the Saltlick BBQ. It’s not bad for airport food. Of course, thereare dozens of better places in the city including the real Saltlick, but it’s awful hard to have a real bbq pit at the airport, even in Austin. There are actually four or five decent restaurants in the Austin airport. Expensive but hey, everything in an airport is expensive.

  • @timol437

    SAN landings are always fun (HUD or no-hud) due to the parking lot Nick, in my 40 yrs of airline flying it was one of the airports that I felt was an 'adventure' each time, even in the 757/767....Fireworks-fly into Chicago over Lake Michigan on the evening of the 4th of July.
