Thank you! I’ve watched lots of his videos. He strikes me as thoughtful, analytical, knowledgeable and clear. He’s a really great voice on YouTube. I believed through hints he has dropped, that he’s a 777FO at Delta.
If I was making around $100,000 a year on YouTube like “Captain Joe” I’d be promoting myself too
Juan Browne does great videos. (Delta doesn’t have any 777s so I doubt that’s his job. One bio page says American). He also has Patreon and PayPal links in all his video descriptions asking for money. Not really that different.
Oh, I’m not saying it does, at all. Just that he’s more likely an American Airlines pilot vs. Delta if he’s on the 777, as Delta’s 777s are gone.
Cargo flying is more stable but most pilots would consider it a tougher job because they normally fly nights, forever.
In my country, pilots come from flying schools, the military and tax payer subsidized community colleges ( you just pay room and board ). Most I fly with came from regionals as my airline had a flow through agreement but some still were hired elsewhere ( ex military ). Most came from the regionals where I was based and they got their initial training at community colleges.
What does the book say, can you please give a brief explanation? I have an idea based on the title.
Book says about the Death of Expertise. About how we looking for simplistic answers for everything. "Captain" Joe is part of that problem. 1. He is using his uniform to give opinion. He does not have facts at his disposal. 2. He is misrepresenting himself. His rank (real one), uniform, carries weight. When I go out to talk using my title, I always make sure I have all the facts at disposal as 1. My credibility is at stake, 2. my institutions credibility is at stake.
They’re all rebuilds by now. No engine sits on the wing for 25 years.

But, bigger problem is that we are creating environment where we want simple answers, quickly, for extremely complex issues.
One student (graduate) asked me few months back: why DoD has such a large budget? And can you explain me like I am in kindergarten? That right there is a problem. I told her to change career.
Get a book, a lot to unpack there, and I am giving you simple explanation, which I just ranted against
