Airline Pilot Questions & Answers

What kinds of things do you learn as a pilot? Are there any skills you’ve picked up and used in situations other than flying? I know you have to keep calm in unexpected scenarios, and am practising doing that myself. It has helped me a lot at various times.

Mandy,

Pilots learn about navigation, weather, aerodynamics, map reading, the list goes on and on.

I would say that a good understanding of weather patterns can be very applicable in many different situations in life.

As you mentioned, staying cool under pressure is always a good one.

It was at a food truck I’d seen on the Food Network. Absolutely fantastic. Close runner up is the Meer burger in Meet Texas.

Adam,

Just looked up this Side Street Inn, how did I live there for 4 years and never even hear about this place.? What about Ted’s Bakery on the North Shore? You’d probably like that place if you’ve never tried it

Jeremy, at any point have I insulted you? So why you insulting me? Never tried Ted’s…(shaking my head)…
