Title: Airline Pilot Blog
Post by: Michael DiChiaro on March 31, 2008, 09:54:03 am
Hi! I'm an Airline Pilot in service with Continental Airlines and currently fly the Boeing 737. Prior to joining the Continental family, I worked for Continental Express and flew the ATR42 and the EMB 135/145.

I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and started flying lessons at 13 years old.  I just started a blog to write about my experiences in becoming an airline pilot.

The purpose of this blog is to give you a glimpse into the life of an airline pilot and what it takes to become one. I'm relatively young, at 29, to be an airline pilot. I have been in service with the airlines for the past 8 years as well.

I have the knowledge, the experience, and the stories that will help you become an airline pilot in short order. Plus I plan to entertain you with stories from my flying experience and from my friends in the industry. I will update this blog with pictures and information regarding my monthly schedule and where I travel to each and every trip.

Thank you for visiting and check back often!

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help answer them too.

Thanks!  I look forward to helping when I can.  I enjoy mentoring people to become airline pilots.  We need more pilots too!

Michael, have you looked into the AOPA Project Pilot Mentor Program? It's a great program where pilots can be "matched" with students to mentor them.

No I didn't know about the program but it sounds interesting, I'll have to look into it.  Thanks!
