Office with a view—FO Joshua takes wing!

  Join me on another video journey as we follow Cap’n Chad and First Officer Joshua of Boutique Air on their “stand-up overnight”—flying to a small town, sleeping for a few hours, then flying back, all in one duty period. For Cap’n Chad, it’s a convenient if grueling schedule that allows him more time at home with the wife and kids. For First Officer Joshua, a step in building time and experience toward his goal of flying for a major airline.

  Along the way, we explore the crucial differences between Air Taxi and Air Carrier operations and the political—and often counterproductive—history of their regulations. Finally, we will address the state of the airline industry as it is today, in all its glory . . . and its warts.

  This post is a compliment to the article I wrote in coordination with AirwaysNews.com. The article and video are posted HERE:
