Everyone is hiring Every airline is hiring, it’s a good time to have some solid skills and some flight time to back it up. If this is your goal, there are plenty of fast tracks out there.

There’s been a lot of interest in my recent accident analysis “ Invisible Trap Kills Glider Pilot – How To Avoid Microbursts.” Within days it has been read by more than 5000 people, a significant number for our relatively small community. I also received a lot of feedback and questions, some public, some private. Most were quite insightful and thought provoking and I’d like to thank everyone for the engaging discussion.
