Author: Avic Air May 6, 2024 Duration: 1:08:18

Welcome to the Avic Air Podcast, where we soar into the complexities and triumphs of building a career in aviation. Each episode is designed to guide pilots through the intricacies of accumulating necessary flight hours and navigating the highly competitive aviation industry. Join us as we provide essential insights and advice for pilots at all stages of their careers—from those just starting out to seasoned aviators aiming for major airline positions.

In this episode, we sit down with Scott, the assistant chief pilot from PlaneSense. With years of experience in both piloting and human resources, Scott brings a wealth of knowledge on what major airlines are looking for in candidates. We'll explore why PlaneSense is a notable name on any resume, discuss how to handle tricky interview questions, and share strategies to succeed in new-hire training programs.

Tune in to elevate your aviation career with expert tips and insider knowledge that can help you navigate your journey to the cockpit of a major airline.


There's a unique clarity that comes from operating at 30,000 feet, where decisions carry immense weight and every detail matters. Aviation Intelligence, hosted by Avic Air, explores how that high-stakes mindset can be brought down to earth. This isn't just a podcast about flying; it's about applying the rigorous principles of aviation to the complexities of our daily routines and interactions. Each episode unpacks a specific tactic from the cockpit-whether it's managing extreme stress, maintaining focus amidst distraction, or navigating critical communication-and translates it into practical tools for your career, relationships, and personal growth. You'll hear discussions on overcoming inherent psychological limits, mastering negotiation by understanding different perspectives, and turning routine conversations into meaningful connections. The aim is to streamline your approach to challenges, much like a pilot's checklist ensures a safe and efficient flight. Tune in for thoughtful conversations that borrow from philosophy, psychology, and, of course, aviation culture, all designed to help you navigate your own path with greater precision and confidence.
