A Day in the Life as a Fractional Airplane Pilot
You've probably heard of a Commercial Pilot or even a Freight Pilot, but a Fractional Airplane Pilot?
In case you are wondering, fractional ownership is when multiple owners share the use and costs of purchasing and operating an aircraft (or business jet).
In this episode, Chris is joined by Brian Miller, a Fractional Airline Pilot who shares what a typical day looks like for him, his journey as a pilot, how he rose up the ranks, and what certifications you need to receive your own pilot license.
Along for the conversation is 16-year-old James Kearsing, looking to start his career in aviation. He offers a different perspective as he decides what steps to take in order to earn his wings.
This conversation will give you a transparent look into what this type of work entails, what the perks of the job are, and the potential pitfalls.
