What does it actually take to become an airline pilot? Dan O'Leary has been flying for 26 years — starting at 14 years old, before he could even drive. In this episode, Dan walks us through his path from a first flight lesson to the cockpit of a 737, what a typical day looks like for an airline pilot, how pilots train for emergencies (including three real engine failures), and what it costs in time and money to get started. Whether you're a young person fascinated by aviation or a parent wondering if this is a realistic career path, Dan breaks it all down — the training, the ratings, the lifestyle, and how to take your first step at a local airport.
Dan is a First Officer at a major U.S. airline and a graduate of the University of North Dakota's aeronautics program
