Ready 4 Pushback

If you're on the path to the airlines, there's a good chance you'll face an assessment test along the way. These tests aren't just about checking your flying ability—they're designed to measure traits like decision-making, teamwork, and stress tolerance. In today's solo episode, Nik dives into what pilots need to know before sitting down for one of these crucial assessments. What You'll Learn in this Episode: Why major airlines use assessment tests and what they're really looking for The different types of assessments at United, Delta, American, and Frontier The Hogan Personality Inventory (United) and its “Big Five” traits Delta's mix of AON (cut-E) gamified tests and the MMPI deep-dive personality inventory American Airlines' skill and personality assessments Frontier's OutMatch assessment and cognitive testing Practical tips to prepare: practice strategies, environment setup, and mindset What to avoid when answering personality-based questions (like extremes or blind obedience) Free (and paid) resources for practice and prep Pro Tips from Nik: Practice using free resources like Pilotest.com Take your assessment in a quiet, stable internet environment Use a laptop and mouse instead of a tablet Dress professionally if video monitoring is required—set yourself apart Be honest, consistent, and professional in personality tests—don't try to “game” them At the end of the day, whether you're headed to a regional or shooting straight for a major, these tests aren't just boxes to check—they're your chance to show the airlines you're the pilot they want on their team.  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

In this follow-up episode, Alan and Steve break down a key question from listeners: Do schools need a license to live-stream a concert while it's happening?

He now targets people who publicly ask franchising‑related questions on podcasts, social media, and newsletters, aiming for a handful of high‑quality conversations each week instead of a high volume of low‑quality leads. To sustain this pipeline, he aggregates prospects from YouTube, his newsletter, Facebook groups, and other social channels into a single master list. While he feels “nine months behind schedule,” he believes the slower, relationship‑focused approach will reduce wasted effort and generate better long‑term opportunities.

In this episode of the Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we're taking to the skies—literally. I sat down with award-winning photographer and author Chase Guttman, whose groundbreaking book on drone photography helped launch an entire generation of aerial image-makers. As one of the earliest voices in the drone photography space, Chase brings insight, experience, and a healthy dose of sky-high inspiration. We talk about what it means to compose an image when your camera is 400 feet off the ground, how to think three-dimensionally when navigating space and light, and the gear that every aspiring drone photographer should consider. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your drone work to the next level (pun definitely intended), this conversation is packed with valuable tips and tools. Chase also shares his thoughts on the creative freedom drones offer photographers, the importance of storytelling from above, and how to stay legally safe and respectful while flying. Spoiler: it's not just about dodging birds and watching your battery life—although those are important too. So if you've ever looked up at the sky and wondered what your photography might look like from that vantage point, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn from one of the pioneers of drone imagery and find out how you can bring new perspective—literally and creatively—to your work.
