In the premiere episode of The Flight Club Podcast hosted by Jason Middleton, we meet Brian Monette. Brian is a Gulfstream G550 captain with a diverse background in aviation. In this interview he shares his journey from an aviation enthusiast to becoming a multi-type-rated pilot for aircrafts like the Challenger 300, Lear 60, and Citation 525 series. Brian delves into the adventurous and often unpredictable world of corporate flying, comparing it to being a 'Lyft driver for the skies,' with experiences ranging from flying celebrities to participating in community initiatives like Fly Compton. He discusses the unique lifestyle that comes with the job, such as the personal connections with passengers, the 'hurry up and wait' aspect, and the flexibility required to adapt to various destinations. The episode also explores his role in mentoring future aviators, creating aviation-related content on YouTube, and his views on the importance of mentorship in the ever-changing aviation industry.
