In This Episode We Discuss:

• As a military pilot can I take the FAA dispatchers test and waive the practical exam? Is it worth sitting for that test when I take my ATP written?
• What are some aviation jobs for those with very low flying time? I would like to start flying for hire as soon as possible after I obtain my commercial license, and before I get my flight instructor rating. 
• One of my biggest concerns with being a pilot would be having a family emergency arise while at work.
• With Mandatory retirements coming up over the next decade or so-do you think this will drastically change how senior/junior some bases get?
• The Regional airline model.

In This Episode We Discuss:

• I was always under the impression that flying for a career was unattainable and unrealistic.
• For guys like myself, who have the build of an offensive lineman finding comfortable clothing can be quite challenging.
• Does the scholarship guide include scholarships for career changers? 
• How long did it take you to move from 0 hours to flying for the regionals and what do you think a good timeline would be?
• Is pursuing a position as a cadet with a regional worth doing in terms of attaining reimbursement money and additionally in providing assistance in completing hours towards ATP as a CFI/CFII?
• How important of a factor in your opinion is a regional being wholly owned by a major in terms of stability and security for the regional and in turn for its employees?
• Is a guaranteed flow through to a major an important factor in considering a regional in today’s job economy or is this not something to worry about?
• Is it best to remain a “free agent”  or is getting in the door early with an airline by way of a cadet program a wise choice worth considering?
• What are some aviation jobs for those with very low flying time? I would like to start flying for hire as soon as possible after I obtain my commercial license, and before I get my flight instructor rating.

Today we have a truly inspirational aviator Grant Boyd.  I have known Grant through the air show circuit and can attest to his passion for aviation. Grant Boyd grew up attending airshows with his father, where he fell in love with aviation and received his Private Pilot Certificate at 17. 

For college, Boyd went to Wichita State University, where he received an undergraduate degree in Marketing and an MBA. Today, he combines his love of business and aviation in a number of ways-most notably as a freelance aviation journalist. Having written more than forty articles for publications like Plane & Pilot, Twin & Turbine, Aviators Hot Line, and others, the 22-year-old loves covering a variety of aerospace-related stories and always looks forward to the next one. 

Additionally, Boyd also operates 'Boyd Aviation Group,' which is a niche, aviation marketing firm where he has provided services to several businesses within the industry.
