Hey, from the flight deck. This is your captain speaking. Welcome to the Tailwinds and Sunshine podcast where we talk everything aviation. I am your host, Manny Ramirez. It's always a pleasure to have you on board.
Manny:So please, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the show. Thank you for spending some time with me today. Happy Monday.
Manny:Happy solar eclipse Monday. If you're gonna go out and look at the sun this morning or this afternoon, please make sure you wear you wear eye protection. Yeah? Don't pull a Trump and try to look at the freaking sun without any eye protection. Okay?
Manny:Okay. I can't believe I can't believe that I saw that. I remember that. Anyways, Yeah. Just go out, use some eye protection.
Manny:I'm in Colorado, so I am not gonna full I'm not gonna get the full effect here, but I think it's gonna be, like, more than 3 quarters of the wave, covered. So we're we're probably gonna get dark here tomorrow, so I'm excited for that. I'm gonna be working, but I'm gonna definitely be, taking a break from teaching and take my students outside, or or at the very least, just look out the window. Right? Because I don't have any eye protection myself.
Manny:I didn't buy any of those special goggles or anything like that. I'll probably do one of those kinda like those boxes where you, you know, punch a pin or punch a hole in the box or something like that. Maybe I'll do that, but, I'm just excited to see the eclipse kinda getting dark. So that's kinda cool. Anyways, I just did my first trip as a captain a couple days ago.
Manny:So I'm on reserve. I have a bunch of reserve days in April. I wasn't able to bid for the month because my training was in between the bidding period. So I got called on reserve, and they said, hey. We're gonna do a repo.
Manny:Well, they didn't tell me, actually. Let me step back a little bit. So, typically, they call you to let you know the the that is something to your schedule. But this one, I caught it before they called me, and I basically self notified. So I went to our website, and I clicked I acknowledged a trip.
Manny:So I saw the trip, and it said, like, Colorado Springs to Chicago. I'm like, I didn't know we flew the 175 to Chicago. So then I didn't see any flight attendants on the trip sheet, so I immediately knew that it was a repo flight. So I called crew support and asked them to just to verify that, in fact, it was a repo. Yes.
Manny:It was a repo. So I drove up to Denver, unfortunately. Because I was down in the Springs when they called me, and I was like, oh, I can probably just drive to the airport here. It's a it's my house is 15 minutes away from Colorado Springs airport. So I was like, I'll drive there and just pick up the airplane there.
Manny:But if I did that, I would not have a car to drive down from Denver because they were deadheading us. They when they deadheaded us back from our the repo, they were gonna they have to deadhead us back to our base. So I'm like, okay. Never mind. Drove up to Denver, and, had to be in Denver anyways to, teach in, PT.
Manny:So I'm like, okay. Well, I might as well drive, leave my car there. So I get to the airport, and as I was sitting waiting for, our dead ahead, they canceled the flight. So I was like, oh, great. Now they're gonna have me sit ready reserved at the airport for 8 hours.
Manny:So I called cruise support again, and I asked him, hey, did that repo cancel? Or why? I was like, no. We actually changed the destination. Now you're gonna repo it to Detroit, and we're gonna deadhead you.
Manny:It's gonna be a double deadhead. So we're gonna, basically, you're gonna sit in the same plane that you repoed. You're gonna sit in the back. We're gonna deadhead you to Chicago, and from Chicago, we'll fly you back. I'm like, okay.
Manny:So then finally showed up on my schedule, met up with my FFO, and we're just chatting it up. Then we saw another schedule change, and they decided not to deadhead us the same evening. They were gonna keep us in Detroit. They were gonna show they were gonna give us a hotel, and they were gonna deadhead us the next morning. I don't wanna do that because there was an a wide open Delta flight from Detroit to Denver, And so I nonrep on that one back home, and I came back to, to Denver the night before I had to go to work.
Manny:That's what I wanted to do. But the repo flights, they're really fun because they're empty. There's no passengers. And this particular repo, we were bringing it from maintenance. So we picked it up at the hangar done in Colorado Springs.
Manny:SkyWest has a maintenance base in Colorado Springs. It's mostly for CRJ, but every once in a while, they do get ERJ, so they service them there. So we picked it up. Airplane was empty. No flight attendants.
Manny:No passengers. We got lucky because this plane was fully catered. So we had sodas. We had snacks. So it was awesome.
Manny:Right? So we picked up the airplane, and another thing we have to keep in mind when we're doing repo flights is that we have to we're the ones that have to actually arm and disarm the doors. So that way, when they open the doors from the inside, we don't inadvertently deploy it deploy deploy a slide. So we have a checklist for that to make sure the the doors are we arm the doors before we take off, and we disarm the doors when we get to the gate. So that was really cool.
Manny:We took off, and, it was a 2 and a half a total time block time was 2 hours and 45 minutes from Colorado Springs to Detroit. And the coolest part about a repo flight is that we can just get up and use the restroom whenever we feel like it. We can go back, grab a snack, do whatever. That, you don't do. When we have passengers on board, we have what's called an out of flight protocol.
Manny:So we have to call the flight attendants, then when they're ready, you have to look to the peephole on the door, then you open the door, you basically exchange places. So you go out of the flight deck and then the flight attendant jumps in the flight deck, lock the door, and then you go and do and go about your business. And on top of that, the other flight attendant has to stand guard in front of, the main of the galley, in the front galley to make sure that if any anything goes down, they can, you know, knock them with a 1, 2 punch. Right? But this time, we just kept the flight deck door open, and we were just flying along and just enjoying ourselves.
Manny:We, hey. I'm gonna use the restroom. Alright. Let me transfer the controls over to you, and then just get up and go to the bathroom. You know?
Manny:And, I I I I took the liberty of using the rear bathroom in the on our plane, which is bigger than the front one. The front was a little tight, but the back one's, like, nice. So I use the back one, and we're just cruising. Another thing is that we climbed up to all the way to the service ceiling of the Serpiline, which was 41,000 feet. So we went all the way up to flight level 410.
Manny:And, that particular day, when was it? Couple days ago, there was a a cloud layer over Colorado. It was pretty high. It was, like, in the mid thirties, so it was pretty high. So we were probably one of the few airplanes flying at 41,000 feet.
Manny:So that was pretty cool doing about mach, I think, put it at mach point 78, and it was really smooth. So we're doing mach point 78 all the way to Detroit. And once we get there, it was just going to the gate. It was a simple taxi over there, and, we went on our way. Again, I went from, one of the terminals there in Detroit, and you have to take a bus to the Delta Gates, And then I just jump seated on.
Manny:I didn't jump to it. I listed for the jump seat, but there was plenty of seats open in the Delta flight, and it was a 3 hour a little over 3 hour flight from Detroit to Denver and called it a day. So that was really fun. I was really excited that my first trip as a captain was a repo flight. I had a lot of fun.
Manny:The FFO had a lot of fun because, he's a relatively new FFO, and he's never done a repo flight, and he got to do this. And, Yeah. We had a lot of fun. We had a great conversation in the air. So that was my first.
Manny:Let me see if I can think of anything else from that repo flight. No. That was it. Yeah. So you have any questions about repo flights, hit me up.
Manny:Also, let's see what we're gonna talk about here. Yeah. I'm in Colorado. Like I said, most of the month, I got reserved. I kinda got boned with some reserve time in in April because as I I don't know if I mentioned it before, but because my training was still in progress during the bidding period the month prior in March, I wasn't able to bid.
Manny:So once I got signed off, then I didn't have anything. So, reserve utilization actually goes in and just puts a bunch of reserve days on your schedule, and it's based off on days work, not credit. So I was a little salty about that because I thought I was gonna only get about 4 or 5 days of reserve, and they ended up getting, like, 12. So I've been trying to swap those out with some actual, teaching sessions, but, you know, they're kind of spare, they're kinda there's not that many out there right now. But, anyways, I'm gonna be back on reserve, tomorrow.
Manny:I'm just gonna I'm gonna have a couple days off, and then I'm back on reserve. And speaking of reserve, oh, man. It's embarrassing, but I'm gonna just, like, put it out there. But I got my first SAD at the company, and I'm I'm really bummed out, you know, and it's unfortunate. A SAD stands for a scheduled assignment deviation.
Manny:So what happened for me to get that? So your boy decided to play around with his phone in focus modes, and I created a new focus just for reserve. Right? So my reserve time is from 4 AM to 4 PM. But I'm trying to be slick, and I'm like, well, I don't have to be up at 4 if they don't call me.
Manny:Like, if they don't need me, what's the point of setting an alarm at 4 AM? So I'll set it so that at 4 AM, crew support can call me. The call will come through, and then I'll just wake up when they call me. I'm not a heavy sleeper. I I tend to be kinda medium, but definitely if I hear my phone ring, I will wake up and I'll put the volume up.
Manny:I'll pick up the phone, cruise support tells me when you have a trip, and I'll get start getting ready. Typical call out for me is about, the minimum they can call you is 2 hours. Right? So they have to give you 2 hours, a 2 hour call out. And so I had everything ready, my uniform, my bags were packed, my lunch bag was packed.
Manny:Everything was ready to go. So all I had to do was wake up and put on my uniform. You know, get them brush my teeth, you know, comb my hair, get it ready because I already shaved the, had already shaved the night before, so I was ready to go. And so I tested this focus mode, and I'm like, okay. It worked.
Manny:I tested it. Okay. And I went to sleep. I'm like, perfect. You know?
Manny:So I put my phone, go to sleep. Next morning, I wake up. I pick up my phone from my nightstand, and I see 3 missed calls from crew support. 2 different emails, and I panicked. I was like, oh my god.
Manny:So I saw the voice mails, and they tried to get a hold of me. It was a 7 AM report time. They called me at 4:17 AM, and then again at 4:25, and again at 4:4:30. And, obviously, I didn't hear it. The focus mode never switched.
Manny:I don't know what happened. It worked before when I tested it, but it didn't work this time and I was pissed. I was just so mad at myself. So I went up to I opened the company website. I went to my schedule, and it has a big fat red square.
Manny:It said SAD. Scheduled assignment deviation. I was like, man, I was so mad. So the first thing I did is I called my assistant chief. And I called her, and I said, hey.
Manny:I'm really sorry. My phone didn't ring this morning. You know? I know what caused it. I'm gonna fix it.
Manny:Don't worry about it. It's not gonna happen again. And she asked me if I was on reserve or if I just was had got a sad and said, well, I got a sad, but it doesn't show anything else on there. And she said, okay. Call crew support, and they'll put you back on reserve for the rest of the day.
Manny:So I did that. And then after I got back on reserve, I emailed both my assistant chief and my my chief pilot, and I explained what happened and, that I was back on reserve, and I apologize. So that was my first sad, and I'm really sad about it. Pun intended. Right?
Manny:I'm really sad because those things stick around on your on your record or on your, reliability record for 2 years as opposed if you call in sick or you call out emergency, that only stays with you for 12 months. The sad is 24 months. So I'm really sad, really sad that I got a sad. But, hey, you gotta move on. Right?
Manny:My chief pilot emailed me back. He's like, hey. I'm glad you, you know, you reached out to us and that you, that you promised you're not that's not gonna happen again. Those are big, you know, a big deal for any airline, right, that you a a no show. They're okay because now they they're okay if, you call in sick ahead of schedule or or do that.
Manny:That way, support can work on someone else, but if you do not answer your phone on reserve, that's a pretty big deal. So oh well life goes on right Let me see. As I mentioned, I'm currently in Denver doing some training. So I'm in the training department right now. I got a just a couple upgrades that I'm working on.
Manny:2 students are upgrading some initial students, and I got a couple days off in the next couple days. And pretty stoked about that. Then go back on reserve, but I swear, the next time, I'm just gonna leave my phone on. That's what I'm gonna do because this repo flight, what happened is remember I said that they didn't I actually caught the assignment before they called me? So when I woke up, I panicked a little I didn't I put I picked up my phone, and I looked at my email and I got an email that said schedule change and my heart just sunk.
Manny:Like, I was like, oh my god. It happened again. Right? So I immediately went to my, schedule online, and it said the report time was 11 AM, and I had it was, like, 7 o'clock in the morning when I woke up. So I was like, oh, thank god.
Manny:I was like, okay. They they just hadn't called me yet, but I was so relieved. I was so paranoid that I had gotten another sad. But nope, it worked out, and that repo flight was amazing. Alright.
Manny:I also got some interviews lined up here in the next couple of weeks, so expect those episodes to come out shortly after that or probably a week or so after that. So I'm working those episodes. I'm also still working on getting some, getting an episode on my, upgrade training. Kinda give you a little brief about that. So be on the lookout for that.
Manny:Also, I wanna thank all of you that submitted questions to the show. Man, you got some really good good questions and, suggestions for the show. You got some great stories. So I really do appreciate that. If you wanna submit your own question, the, the form is in the show notes.

Manny:I love it. So I'm I'm slowly growing this community. I really thank you for that. It's all you. It's all you.
Manny:Right? I mentioned this before. I have no sponsors. I have no marketing skills. Really, it's just word-of-mouth.
Manny:So I appreciate it. This is all all of you're doing. So I really thank you so much. Also, if you wanna reach out to me a little bit more informal, you can reach out to me on Instagram. That's how some of you have reached me.
Manny:It's at climbvx. That's clim, b as in bravo, v as in Victor, x-ray. You can reach me there as well. And to mention once again, if you submit a question, make sure you leave your mailing address, and I'll send out a postcard to you or I'll send out a trading card. I still have a stack of trading cards.
Manny:I am, I do have some getting ready. I am in Denver, so I don't have my my postage stamps. I didn't bring them with me, and I have little time to be going out of the airport. I'm pretty busy. So but I I'll get those.
Manny:For those of you that have asked for, either a trading card postcard. They'll be out in the mail soon, so be be on the lookout for that. Alright. So the questions that you guys submitted, I think there's a common theme too. I think, a lot of you are coming in into aviation as your second career.
Manny:Some of you are military. In fact, the majority are military. And and in that category, there's also there's some of them are prior aviators. But there's also a good chunk of you that are not aviators that used to do other jobs in the mill in the military. Just like me, I wasn't a pilot in the military, but now I'm a pilot.
Manny:And I wanna talk about that because I wanna give you the good, the bad, and the ugly of aviation. Right? In the age of social media, we have a lot of aviation influencers out there that put out a lot of content. Obviously, they show you the good. You know?
Manny:Oh, a day in the life of a pilot and they show you all these great things about being a pilot and the overnights they do and and the fun they have in their overnights. Right? And and they show you only the good. And I wanna share my personal story of how why I wanted to be a pilot, and I want you to compare to yours. And I wanna give you the the nitty gritty and the the the dirty details of aviation or being a pilot and see if it kind of if you still wanna be a pilot after you listen to me talk about this.
Manny:Right? So let me start from the beginning. I wanted to be a pilot since I was 7 years old. I remember the airplane and the airline that I flew that first flew on, and I was just from that moment forward. Right?
Manny:And typically, that a lot there's a lot of pilots out there that and even, you know, air traffic controllers like my friend, Patrick, which I had as a guest a few episodes back, and you can go back and listen to that interview. He knew he wanted to be an air traffic controller since he was a kid. By the way, Patrick, hello? Tears, greetings from Denver, Colorado. And he wanted to be an air traffic controller.
Manny:Right? I wanna be a pilot since I was a kid. Now there's people that and this is still my 2nd career. The reason why I'm a pilot now is because I went into the military. For me, flight training was out of my reach financially.
Manny:I started flight training when I was, I believe, 9 18, 19 years old, and I was paying for everything out of pocket. But then 911 happened, and I got this illusion because there was no one hiring. And I just kinda gave up on my dream because it was just way out of reach. And the military afforded me the opportunity to restart my training and and get going. So when I found out that the army would pay for my flight training, man, I I ran to my platoon leader's office to say, hey.
Manny:I'm not gonna re I'm not gonna sign that that I'm not gonna re up. And we were getting to ready to deploy. So I literally dodged that bullet. Right? And so that's why I wanted to, you know, I wanna be a pilot since I was a kid, so it was like a no brainer.
Manny:When I found out that I was gonna get my flight training paid for, it was a no brainer. Right? And I went in flight training, and I was done in pub about two and a half years or so from the start. Let me see. 17, 18, 1920.
Manny:We'll call it 3 years until I got to about until I got here to SkyWest. What is your why? What is it that you wanna do it? Are you doing it because you're seeing all these stories on social media? Are you doing it because we get paid well?
Manny:Why is it that you're doing it? Because the pay, yes, we are very well compensated for what we do. But there's a lot of factors that you're gonna have to use a scale and do a pros and cons, list. Right? If you're a single guy or or gal, you have a lot of flexibility.
Manny:You don't have a family. Well, I mean, if you if you count your parents, obviously, but I'm saying kids, more like that. Right? You have to have their support. Right?
Manny:As a single as a single person, you're your own person. Right? You don't have to answer to your family necessarily. But if you have a spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, then you have to make this decision together because you need their support. I've talked to many pilots that come through the training department.
Manny:They've had they they have struggled through training and even failed validation events because they're so stressed because they got a lot of stuff going on at home. Right? The kids, they missed their recitals. They missed Christmas. They missed holidays, and it puts stress not only on you, but on your family.
Manny:So your family has to understand that you are gonna be gone for months at a time initially. Right? When you go initial training, you're gonna be gone for 3 months. And then once you're actually flying, you may be away for weeks at a time as well. You may have less time at home.
Manny:You may have to miss those special events. You may have to reschedule and have Christmas on 20th December instead of 25th. You're no you're no longer gonna be able to ring in the New Year with your family. You're gonna be somewhere in Boise or Chicago. You have to come to terms with that.
Manny:Is your family gonna be able to withstand that? You know, some people are able to be apart from each other longer than others. You know, my boyfriend and I are actually getting used to this whole idea right now. It's a it's a little bit harder for him. I'm more used to being alone.
Manny:I'm kind of over more more of a loner. Jan's doing pretty well. He but, you know, we've gone almost a month without seeing each other. And sometimes, I think the minimum we've gone is, like, 2 weeks, one and a half to 2 weeks. So that's always the case.
Manny:I'm here in Colorado, then I've spent 2 weeks here, then I go back home. I spend a few days. If I get lucky, I do a whole week. But I'm in a very unique position here also working in the training department, so that's kind of an unusual case. But as a regular line pilot, expect to be on reserve for some time.
Manny:Expect to be based where you don't want to be. Expect to commute. Case in point, just right now, I, we got off a session. I'm, taught a couple, captain upgrade students. One guy was based in Boise where he lives.
Manny:Perfect. But the other guy, he lives in San Francisco, but he's gonna be based in Minneapolis. That's a long flight, guys. That's a 3 hour plus flight from San Francisco to Minneapolis and 4 hours coming back, depending on headwinds. But that's the reality of things.
Manny:And if you eventually make it to a major airline, you're gonna be on reserve even longer. Now, here's the thing. There's been a lot of movement right now. Right? Everyone was hiring, but we reached the plateau, and we are gonna kinda start heading on a kind of towards down, maybe.
Manny:This is just my prediction. We might have a level off and we might kind of go back up again, but you have to prepare. You expect the best, prepare for the worst. Your family has to be okay with you living somewhere else, getting a crash pad when you're on reserve. That's gonna be more expenses.
Manny:Right? You're gonna have to pay for a crash pad, or possibly an apartment, or getting my sim partner actually got a hotel room because he can't deal with roommates. Same here. I would probably just get a hotel room, but, obviously, that's gonna be a significant expense. But the biggest thing is you have to have the support of your family to be able to do this.
Manny:Because this career move you're about to make is not just for you, It's for your family. So initially, I've talked to people that are very excited about the, new opportunity. They're doing it from a position as well. It looks really cool. I think I'm gonna try it.
Manny:And those are the people that are gonna be highly disappointed. Right? So make sure that you understand your why. And if you really wanna put the commitment and possibly even the financial burden you're gonna put on yourself if you're paying this out of pocket or taking out loans because it's gonna be a rough one. Training is hard.
Manny:It can be fun sometimes, but it can be hard, and you're gonna be away from home a lot. And some of these overnights, oh, man. You're gonna be at the bottom of the seniority pile, and you're gonna end up in overnights that you don't want to. Right? Or you're gonna keep going to the same city and the same crappy hotel that you don't like, that doesn't have a microwave in your room.
Manny:But if that doesn't bother you and you're like, you know what? I don't care. I'm flying airplanes. Then good. Then this is for you.
Manny:Also keep in mind, depending on your age, right, you can pursue your dreams. Whatever. I have friends that are older than I am. They're in their fifties, and they're they they reach their dreams. They're flying airplanes for a living.
Manny:Some people are looking at life through rose colored glasses, thinking they're gonna be able to fly the 777 or the 747, and they're gonna be at United within 5 years or something. They have this really kind of morphed image of what they think they're gonna be able to achieve. But the reality is that the older you are, you may be limited to some of those options. 7. I have friends that are now there.
Manny:They're United flying the triple 7 or they're cargo flying heavies, and those are rare cases. But and especially right now that we had all this hiring, that happened. But keep in mind that if you're just gonna be a pilot because you just wanna fly that airplane, and that's it, you're limiting your options. If you tell yourself that you only wanna fly for that airline, that you only wanna fly for this particular airplane, you're gonna be highly disappointed. Because I have friends that their dream was to go to x airline.
Manny:I have one friend that wanted to fly for Southwest, and he didn't end up flying for Southwest. He didn't get hired at at Southwest. But now he's a Delta, and he's loving it. You have to love it as a whole. You have to love the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Manny:And I enjoy it. Luckily for me, I'm flying a pretty nice airplane. Do I dream of flying a triple 7? Hell, yeah. But I'm not gonna be disappointed if I don't make it there.
Manny:I'm gonna embrace it. Because at the end of the day, I still get to do what I wanted to do as a kid is I wanted to fly airplanes. Don't center yourself. You can manifest that dream. Right?
Manny:You can still manifest that dream. But understand that if the older you get, you your window of opportunity close. You might get lucky and get in there. Get where you wanna go. Great.
Manny:But understand that there are plenty of pilots out there that didn't end up making it to where they thought they were gonna be because it was out of their control. Because remember, this is an industry of seniority numbers and the ups and downs. If you get caught in one of those down you know, one of those downward spirals, you might be one of those pilots that gets furloughed. And you might be furloughed for a month or 3 years. You might be forced to go fly a plane you do not wanna fly or you might be flying the plane of your dreams and all of a sudden the company says, nope.
Manny:Now we need you to fly this other airplane. So you have to love the industry as a whole. Don't fixate on just one aspect of the career. Also, people ask me, well, I am 55. Should I do it?
Manny:Go for it because you will regret it if you don't. Then as in the other people that says, well, I wanna fly for this airline or I'm I'm you know, I live here and my family doesn't want me to relocate, so I wanna fly for this airline. Well, you can still do it. You can still reach your dreams, but your options are very limited if that's a specific airline you wanna go fly for. There's also GA.
Manny:Right? I that's a whole different topic. Right? But there's also cargo. There's charter.
Manny:There's part 91 flying. So there's other options for you as well. So don't limit yourself just to an airline. Look at those, look at those other possibilities. I change my mind every 6 months, so I don't even know what I want.
Manny:But I'm pretty I all I know is that I'm happy where I'm at right now. And if there's opportunities that present present themselves in the future, I will take them. And I like to think very positively, and I like to manifest my own reality. And so far, it's worked out for me. And I encourage you to do the same, but age shouldn't matter.
Manny:Obviously, if you're close to retirement for the airlines of 65, then maybe not the airline. Maybe the airlines is not a good destination for you, but definitely look at charter. But for all you guys and gals that are trying to use aviation or become a pilot's second career, just really take a look at yourself and ask your family if this is the right move for you. Alright, guys. Thank you so much for spending some time with me.
Manny:Keep growing. Keep learning because good enough to earn a living may not be good enough to survive. Hey, fellow aviation enthusiast. Before I let you go, I'd like to ask you for a huge favor. If you could please go to the platform where you're listening this podcast in and leave a review, some feedback, and some comments.
Manny:I really do appreciate that. I wanna make the Tailwinds and Sunshine podcast your podcast.
