What does it take to pivot between multiple careers in aviation?

In this episode of Fly the Transition, we welcome Romeo Hotel (RH), co-host of the Opposing Bases Podcast and a seasoned aviation professional with a career spanning multiple roles. RH shares his unique journey from consulting to regional pilot, then to air traffic controller, and ultimately returning to the skies as a first officer with a major carrier, humorously referred to as Penguin Airlines on OB.

This episode offers a rare look into RH’s career transitions, including what it was like being furloughed from a regional carrier, stepping into the world of air traffic control, and navigating the complexities of airline training in today’s aviation landscape. RH also takes us on an adventure through his current role as a first officer with a major legacy carrier, offering insights into the challenges and rewards of flying internationally.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your own aviation career change, interested in the airline pilot lifestyle, or curious about life in air traffic control, this episode delivers an engaging and insightful conversation on the multi-faceted career of an aviation professional.
