First, love listening you guys banter, but you are delivering real value here. For aviators both real and aspirational, these "watercooler conversations" provide a valuable emotional content that your scripted productions just can't. They help people to understand the "why we fly", not just the "how". These podcasts will never receive the viewership of your other productions, but for aviators, they may actually be more important for emotional support and unscripted advice perspective. Regarding the aviation career discussion, North Americans and perhaps Australians (I'm Canadian) may have some additional options with lower barriers to entry in the large General Aviation communities. For example, in rural locations in these countries, there are VFR air taxi, charter and "bush" flying gigs that can be done with only a basic commercial license, and even without IFR and multi ratings. That cuts the training costs and time substantially. Of course these jobs probably won't pay much and be in places that most people haven't heard of, but they may align more with some people's personal lifestyle preferences and passions than an airline pilot job would. For someone who really wants to fly and try "non-urban" living, looking at possibilities in General Aviation in these countries or in some developing nations might be worthwhile.

Thank you so much for this episode! I turned 41 a few months ago and have been increasingly considering a career change to become a pilot, but of course I've been wondering if I'm too old since 65 is only 24 years away. It was such a good point though that 24 years could be an entire career!

The Notam problem extends to all pilots, including General aviation pilots, and constitutes a safety risk. Some aviation software programs provide sensible organization of NOTAMs into flight plan airfields and en-route notices, and offer map presentations of the areas identified in the NOTAMs. However, this does not decrease the ridiculous number of irrelevant Notams. The ICAO and some regulatory authorities are aware of the problem with NOTAMs, but there is little evidence yet of progress. Why cannot Notams be classified appropriately so that Notam reports can be organised into reports relevant for particular types of operations? A.I. may have a part to play in the solution of this serious problem.
