    Brendan you do the most important thing that is so rare. You let your guests speak. Alaska would be very smart to use this skill in interviews and training. Great listening skills. So many ups and downs in your career window. I imagine you know a lot of great pilots that had to leave to support their families. Couldn’t ride it out. This interview will be shared by many women looking to become pilots. Now give us an ILS into Seward… lol

    Just tried to fly a C-172 after over 40 years, and quickly discovered they shrunk the plane after flying a B-737 for Southwest Airlines. It feels odd to fly VFR, and navigating in class D, E, airspace. Foreflight is another aid that was not available in the 80's. I pounded on the first two landings like I had returned to MDW. Looking to build a Rans S-21 airplane to enjoy the fun again.

    Beautiful imagery. As a non-pilot I wonder - When flying between mountains like that, what is the plan in case the engine quits? Because I assume without thrust you would not be able to go up and out of the valley, so what would you do?

      If there isn’t a road or a field then they are forced to fly it into the top of the trees, they can smoothen out the speed and if lucky the plane will hang in the trees.

    This reminds me of a time when as C.F.I. I had to check a guy out on P.A.32. No way could he land it - round out at 10 ft., aim it at the ground like a dart, no correction for slight cross wind etc. - after about 10 circuits I cleared him but advised only for good conditions until he got more experience. Post flight I asked him what he had been flying - he was a B.A. training Captain on B 7/3/4/5/7s !!
