Angie shared she's cutting back on card applications after a denial, while Mike celebrated scoring a 100k Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus.The main topic focused on the Chicago meetup, where despite weather and travel delays, most attendees made it thanks to their seasoned travel skills. Angie and Mike flew on AA (via Alaska for Mike), and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, using points and benefits like GOH awards and club access. Formal events included a Friday rooftop reception, Saturday learning sessions from travel experts, and a custom improv comedy show Saturday night.

Send us a textAt an early age Joe was fascinated with all things aviation. As a young boy, he would ride around on his toy airplane eyes pointed skyward. His dreams of becoming a pilot took him from the sun-soaked beaches of Florida as a student pilot, to the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska flying floatplanes. When circumstances led Joe out of the flight deck, he didn't see it as the end of a dream...just the beginning of the new one. Throughout his more than 35 years in the aviation industry, Joe has built a depth and breadth of experience.

The aviation industry is currently facing significant challenges, primarily due to a shortage of aircraft and engine deliveries, which has slowed hiring across airlines. Dr. Jim Higgins and I delve into the state of the industry, discussing the implications of these shortages and how airlines are managing their workforce amid ongoing demand. We explore the impact of mergers, such as Alaska Airlines' acquisition of Hawaiian, and the cultural shifts that accompany such changes. Additionally, we touch on the evolving landscape for regional airlines and the importance of networking for aspiring pilots navigating this competitive environment. Join us as we unpack the complexities of the current aviation climate and what the future might hold for pilots and airlines alike.Amidst a whirlwind of changes and challenges in the aviation industry, the latest episode of the Pilot to Pilot podcast features a compelling dialogue between Justin and Dr. Jim Higgins, a prominent figure in aviation academia. The episode opens with a stark analysis of the current hiring landscape, heavily influenced by the ongoing production delays from major aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus. Dr. Higgins elucidates how these delays have created a trickle-down effect, stunting hiring efforts at major airlines and thereby affecting regional carriers that rely on a steady influx of pilots. The discussion paints a vivid picture of an industry in flux, grappling with both supply chain issues and evolving consumer demands post-pandemic.As the conversation continues, Justin and Jim delve into the complexities of mergers, particularly focusing on Alaska Airlines' acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. The cultural implications of such mergers are critically examined, as both hosts highlight how the distinctive cultures of each airline can lead to friction and challenges in integration. Jim shares insights into how historical mergers have played out in the past, providing a context for understanding how Alaska might navigate its latest acquisition. The talk then transitions to the competitive landscape, where low-cost carriers like JetBlue and Spirit face mounting pressures, and the conversation reveals the shifting dynamics that could reshape the airline industry.Takeaways: The current pilot hiring environment is heavily influenced by aircraft delivery delays from manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus. Airlines are facing challenges with a shortage of engines and aircraft, affecting their ability to hire pilots effectively. Despite recent hiring pauses, the long-term outlook for pilot demand remains positive due to upcoming retirements. Networking and building relationships within the aviation community is crucial for aspiring pilots seeking job opportunities. The potential for single-pilot operations in long-haul flights is being explored, although it's a complex issue. Alaska Airlines' recent acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines may lead to cultural shifts within both companies as they integrate.
