2025 Resolutions Pilots Can Actually Stick To As we kick off a new year, here are a few lighthearted resolutions to keep us smiling in 2025: 1️⃣ Take a deep breath when ATC gives us “vectors for spacing”. They’re just doing their job… even if it means adding a few extra minutes to ours. 2️⃣ Actually read the NOTAMs. Yes, all of them. No, skimming doesn’t count. 3️⃣ Celebrate the small victories. Like nailing that crosswind landing or snagging the last crew meal (extra points if it’s edible). 4️⃣ Remember to stay grateful… For the privilege of doing what we love every day and for the connections we make along the way. What’s your resolution for 2025? Whether it’s serious or silly, I’d love to hear it. Fly safe - and here’s to an amazing year ahead! - James
