SkyWest Airlines’ Post

This has all the #FridayFlying vibes! Words of wisdom from this King Air pilot with over 20,000 hours takes the time to mentor new and old pilots. "To have a safe, healthy, and successful career, it’s a combination of listening to your inner voice and not being afraid to speak up, without regard to whatever power imbalance exists in a cockpit. It's a team effort and nobody's foolproof." Ben Tabor. Explore his journey here- https://lnkd.in/eVAxRcNq

Turbulence is just a temporary inconvenience. Pilots avoid it when they can and manage it when they cannot avoid it. The entire crew is there and prepared to make your journey as safe as possible. What myth should I bust next? #CaptSully #MythBuster #MythvsReality #Aviation

When Boom Supersonic was first funded in 2017, the plane was expected to enter service in 2023, last year... The XB-1 demonstrator, something Burt Rutan could have build in his garage, was first planned to fly in 2017. It just flew in march this year, and at a speed comparable to current general aviation propeller planes. Do people really think Boom Supersonic can realistically build the supersonic plane and get it through a certification process for civil aviation and in passenger service in the next five years, as is their latest schedule? And even if they continue to kick the can down the road (as is their business model), will it make sense in the 2030's to scream brutally through the atmosphere instead of going above it? New VTOL rocket technology could get you on the other side of the plane through the vacuum of space in one hour. When will this investor scam end?

I was hired by Unison Industries not long after the company was acquired by Rick Sontag. We had 80 employees with an annual revenue of $14MM. I had been flying since age 14 and when I was hired by Unison at age 25 for a sales and marketing role, my flight experience and aircraft mechanic experience was a significant factor in Unison's selection criteria. I was not the only pilot, though. Rick Sontag, Brad Mottier, and others in our small organization were also pilots. Some of my best memories with Unison are the flight testing I did for our piston engine ignition products, the many hours of flying with the Van Dusen and Aviall sales reps who covered their territories using airplanes, and the many opportunities to fly with customers and our OEM customers to support products Unison sold. I still fly nearly every day, and every flight is with an aircraft that is equipped with Unison products. In retrospect, the nearly 8,000 hours I have logged over the past 48 years have been largely flown behind engines using Unison ignition systems products. While I do not directly work for Unison any longer, this company has routinely been a customer to the later companies I have worked for. In fact, Unison is one of Carlisle Interconnect's largest and longest term customers. Some jobs are not just jobs, but life experiences. For me, Unison was and continues to be a great experience in my life and career....
