In this episode, I talk with Kurt Leuschner who is a major airline pilot. In today’s episode, we talk about. How he got his commercial rating by age 18.

Odd jobs he did around the airport to help fund his training. How you need to treat yourself as a business. Why a 750-hour pilot needs to be extremely careful.

What the interview process is like. How he almost wrecked his car when he found out he got a job with a major airline. And a story about how he lost an engine in a Cessna 150 as a flight instructor.
