Today's Flight Plan

It happens for many pilots. After all the passion and drive to become a pilot, there comes a time in a pilot's career when it's just not fun anymore. This is common problem that all professional pilots will face and one time or another.

With all of the difficulties, and the inevitability of going through some low times, flying remains one of the best careers. However, it's a great career by choice and by balance.

Our guest today, Brad Tate, has found such balance. He loves the challenge of being an airline pilot, all the travel that comes with it, and of course flying amazing machines.

At the end of the day, Brad knows that flying is only part of his life and not his entire life. When he gets home from a trip, he hangs up his pilot uniform and hat, puts away his things, and it is then family time.

He'll take his wife out on a date, or hang out with the kids. Whatever it is, it's time to be husband and dad.

That is the kind of balance we talk about in today's episode of AviatorCast. It's a proper topic for Fathers Day.

Don't think that's the only thing we talk about. Of course we nerd out of airplanes, talk about Brad's mentors, his story, and so much more.
