In this episode, we sit down with Joni, a 747 pilot, and dive into his inspiring journey from a skipper to a commercial pilot. We interviewed Joni about his journey in aviation. We explore how Joni first got interested in aviation and the steps he took to turn his dream into a reality. We also delve into the challenges he faced while building up his flying hours to the FAA's required 1500-hour minimum and the creative ways he found to get those hours.

Joni also shares his experience of being hired by a major airline, what the training was like, and the life-changing moment when he finally took the controls on a 747 for the first time. You won't want to miss the valuable insights Joni offers on the importance of perseverance, dedication, and always staying focused on your goals.
