If you’re at all an aviation geek or interested in the airline industry, I implore you to find 47 minutes over the weekend to enjoy this…
These guys have what I’d argue is the most interesting and entrepreneurial jobs of any pilots in the world (though of course their responsibilities are largely focused on running the company, rather than flying planes, as they have a whole team of people who can do that).
Aircraft are often leased to airlines, and the idea is that sometimes they need to be ferried somewhere between jobs or contracts. When a plane needs to be moved, there’s often sort of a “gap” in terms of the pilots who can fly the planes — the plane is no longer being “operated” by the airline, and it’s not always efficient for aircraft leasing companies to just have a bunch of their own pilots on standby.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
