Vertical Guidance

On this week's podcast, we hosted Rob Haglund. Rob had a very long and successful aviation career. He started out his professional career with Delta at age 25. He worked with Delta until retiring at the age of 52. Rob then wanted to get back into the industry so he started working for Jet Blue, then over to Compass, and then ended his career by going back to Delta, as a captain on the MD80. Rob's vast experience in the industry gives him a fantastic viewpoint on the industry today. He offers insight on how to have a successful aviation career as well as how to avoid complacency once you reach your dream job. Rob gives tremendous advice on staying motivated through the ups and downs. Our favorite quote was "It goes fast, just enjoy the ride." 

In this week's episode, we host Chatham Harris! Chatham is a UND graduate and has vast experience in the corporate industry. He is a fantastic example of someone that overcame a massive amount of adversity to make it to where is today. We discuss the ins and outs of corporate aviation, and how to become a networking professional. Chatham's aviation career is not what the typical UND aviator follows, and is very eye-opening to see how massive the aviation industry is. We discuss the vast amount of opportunities available in today's booming industry. Lastly, we talk about how to deal with career setbacks, and how some blessings are delivered in disguise. 

This week on the podcast we are joined by Emme Miller and Abby Jarve.  Abby is currently a First Officer at Skywest and Emme is working on her ATC and UAS majors. Abby was a CFI and Emme was her student for her private pilot training. They discuss how to maximize instructor-student relations while maintaining professionalism. Abby and Emme also talk about being women in aviation and how we can work to get women more involved with aviation. Towards the end of the podcast, Abby talks about how to set yourself up for success in the aviation industry and Emme breaks down what the ATC major is like at UND. We hope you enjoy the podcast!

On this week's podcast, we host Zach Dabrowski. We wanted to keep going on another week of advice for newer UND students. We discuss topics ranging from UNDs new Training Course Outlines to how to be a good student in general. The back half of this episode is absolutely loaded with some fantastic advice that we think everyone would enjoy listening to, so make it happen and learning something!
