He's right that no one knows about the airline industry. I had no idea. Who knew just going to my local airport and getting setup that i could start learning there? My first flight lesson is in 3 days. 🙌🏼

I love that he enjoys getting people to and from their destination safe. 🙏🏾

I’m not a huge podcast listener, but this was impressive. Phillip truly demonstrates what it means to be a professional. Very inspiring as I grind through instrument/commercial.

Fantastic video. As a teacher I come across students interested in becoming a pilot and there are so many direction to take. Videos and interviews like this have helped me provide them with a better understanding of the pathway. Also excited to share with them the people and stress aspects of such a neat career.

Great video!
I was fortunate enough to have flown with Philip many years ago in the corporate side of aviation. Truly a professional both in the aircraft and the training environment as well. So much great info is shared in this interview, and there are many things that can be learned from him just as I did early on in my career. Great job!

I just took a chance listening to this and it’s been great! It’s cool when things are demystified and you realize that often the underlying principles are the same for many of us..

[ALTAYEB]

Captain Phillips was amazing, smooth talker and so friendly, i wish if the podcast was longer than that because we really enjoyed it
I hope that you make second part of it

[CaptVC]

My teacher asked me to listen to podcasts little did she know masterpeice podcasts like this exist :)

[RheeForThree]

Loved this interview, I’m literally in the same exact boat as Philip. 25 y/o as an Aerospace Engineer in the DoD and I already know I can’t work at a desk for the rest of my life. Started flight school a month ago, but this definitely motivated even more thanks! Tired of seeing planes at work everyday, I just want to fly them🙃

Great episode. Really appreciate the insights outside of the flight deck provided. I think the emphasis on your “attitude” towards all those things making or breaking your job was critical.

For me personally, I definitely don’t find socializing and “putting myself out there” to be a strong suit, but the fact that you guys broke it down was very pleasant and encouraging.

Cheers!

Great interview. My boy, 14 years old, wants to.become a pilot. I took him to ADF flight school in Miami

[swolenation]

Great content man, definitely helps the future of Aviation videos like these.

[richette]

Watching from Switerland. Good podcast!

[kenferreira]

What a great video. Can’t wait to have my son watch it. He said he wants to be an airline pilot. I hope all airline pilots are just like this Captain.

[Eni.stgo]

Would love to see more of this podcast with MrPhilips definitely a sweet personality and realistic! I would be hoping on Chicago ATC! I am a new student trying to achieve my ppl.

[abbasrizvi]

Excellent podcast but would have wanted to know all the planes he is type rated on.

[fleursdelune]

Hello everyone, I wanna ask you what means one leg days, thank you for answering🙌🏻🙌🏻

[flynomo]

Communications between pilots and ATC are so fast that it at times, it opens the door to possible incursions. They need to take the extra 2 seconds and slow er down.

[jacksonfondren]

I'm 42 and this has always been my dream. Army came first and now I'm afraid I may have missed my window. I'm single, have no distractions for school and still have my GI bill. Is this a pipe dream?

[ahetzel]

I wouldve liked to know what he misses about being a corporate pilot if any. Like were the hours slightly better or the workload or the fact that he didnt have a large flight crew. Just some of the things he misses about that.
