Even after thousands of hours spent on airplanes, whenever I hear a plane fly overhead you'll always catch me lookin'. Happy National Aviation Day to all the professionals and aviation enthusiasts. Best job in the world. Brownie points to whoever can tell me where this is. I have to say it's probably my favorite place to plane spot

Back in August I put in a last minute bid to upgrade on the Airbus A220. To my surprise I was awarded the position, and knew I had a lot of work ahead of me. Today I passed my checkride, and it's yet to settle in what the heck just happened! Never did I think I'd have an opportunity like this and it's not lost upon me how lucky I am to be in this position.
Our training program has truly been a great experience. Even more so, I couldn't have asked for a better new hire FO to work with. Next step will be flying with a line check airman for some time, before getting my final sign off to fly as a fully qualified captain. Still a lot of work ahead, but in the meantime I'm going to try to savor this moment. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself; you'll be surprised at what you can accomplish if you can give it your all. Looking forward to getting back out there! Wishing you all the best ❤️

What are your thoughts on satellite gates?
I'm sure a polarizing opinion, but I like them. Rolling up to your plane is not something I see much in my line of work.
But in Lisbon... seems to be much more common place.
Looking forward to exploring this beautiful island these next few days. Thanks for the ride,

Any pilot will tell you they're analyzing weather before ever getting to the airport. The "mission ready" mindset . With Unbeatable Internet only from I can build that picture, knowing what I can expect with weather before arriving at the airport. How does Xfinity make you unbeatable in your everyday life?

Private jet service * When maintenance delays push you past your duty rest, and a reserve crew flies to the rescue. Come to find out this is a diverse crew across the European Union:
Captain, Greeks First Officer, Turkish el Flight Attendant, Polish And myself, this flight's only passenger, Portuguese

First trip as a fully qualified captain in the books! A quick Newark to Detroit turn. The last few months have been a whirlwind to say the least, but so worth it.
Before very flight attendant briefing I had with crew started with "so, I'm brand new" and the support and love made me feel so welcome. The personal notes and snacks were a great touch. From friendly talks with gate agents, to the wisdom (and patience) from our instructors and check airmen, it's been a blast so far. Honored to work along side all of our great staff.

Just wrapped up my final trip of the year. A 5 day Newark trip that bounced back and forth east to west coast a few times with a wonderful 37hr layover in Philly on Christmas. Even a decent landing on a not so great night weather wise in Newark. Could not have asked for a better way to wrap up the year.
As I sit on the not so great NJ Transit to Philly, I can't help but to reflect on my life choices to lead me to where I am today. And idk what 25 year old me was so scared and doubtful about. We all have dreams and ambitions. And self doubt can be crippling. But take it from me, someone who's still trying to figure it out, putting yourself in the mindset to make those dreams come to fruition is attainable. If you set your mind to something, you'll make it happen one way or another.
We have some big plans and ambitions for 2024. Looking forward to what's to come. Wishing you all a Happy New Year. Let's make 2024 the best year yet.

Stumbled upon this clip from Sal Di Stefano and it really stuck with me. Whether you're just starting flight school, or building experience for the next step in your career, appreciate the journey. Even on days of self doubt, you'll look back and be shocked at the things you were able to accomplish. Keep moving forward

Point of view of what an average commute to New York looks like... lots of traffic haha. But let's face it, there's beauty in the everyday. I usually allot myself 4hrs to comfortably give myself enough time to drive to New York from Philadelphia. This includes time for a few things potential time to get gas-an hour for unanticipated traffic (on top of expected)- Time from the LGA/JFK parking lot to the airport by bus-Random security-Coffee break (most crucial)Though not ideal, this is usually the time where I get in the mindset to start a trip. This is also when I listen to many of my podcasts by the likes of Andrew Huberman, Peter Attia, Joe Rogan, or just vibina to some deen chill tracks.(Tritonia orGrono Therapy by Above & Beyond). Either way, I've learned to really enjoy this time of just being.1 found this viral sound on Instagram and it resonated because there is something beautiful about slowly approaching New York City, especially during a sunrise. Blessed to call this job my career, and loving every step that comes with it. Maybe subtract the tolls... those are killerFind beauty in the everyday.

Felt great getting back in the swing of things after vacation. LGA-DFW-SLC-DEN was quite the long day but rewarding because I got to see a good buddy of mine and even go to an MLS game. After a long day like this, my normal habit would be to order Ubereats and hermit in my room until report the next day. But getting out and moving was definitely the right move. Especially considering I pretty much sat in the flight deck all day. Not always easy... so we're taking it a day at a time, trying to form strong, healthy habits. Wishing you all the best!

We all experience failure in our lives. The type of failure isn't what matters, but what we do in the face of adversity.00So here'sI wanted to share my story of failure because like me, many of you: failed a checkride, didn't get that job/promotion, didn't make your sports team, etc...It was this failure that really made me appreciate the journey so much more once I finally achieved my lifelong dream. Granted, I was stressed, vulnerable, and anxious about what my next move was going to be. But looking back at my experience, I can't help but smile about how it all turned out.Life is a journey, we're all going to fail now and time again. But it's how we face our failures is what determines who we are. You're worth everything you set your energy into.If you've made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this. It wasn't always easy, but life is pretty great. We're all gonna make it. We're gonna be alright ❤️

Time to pass aside my insecurities and really put myself out there. Today I'm starting what I'm calling the "Move Everyday Project". And the premise is simple, find a way to move everyday. It can be as simple as a walk. But this is really the only way I can hold myself accountable to grow as a healthy human the more I age.Looking forward to what's to come!
