Yeah. Just me again. Capt. Jeff, the Catholic Pilot. I’ve decided to occasionally record some shows with more personal and more Catholic content. This one is a “walk-cast.” Sorry about all of the traffic noise… I will have to try to find a quieter route next time!

Join me in the first episode of the recently-rebranded “Airline Pilot Guy” podcast! As you’ll see (well, hear, actually), it sounds just the same. The main topic of discussion is the recent update of the AF 447 accident investigation, and how automation may have led (indirectly) to this senseless tragedy. I also talk about Captain’s authority, and how it’s misuse may have led to the removal of two Muslim Clerics on a recent flight departing Memphis. Send me your feedback!

Yeah. It was bound to happen eventually. I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut any longer.

I hope to have my first episode out soon!

Technically speaking, yes, I did get a two-week vacation. It’s almost over now. I’ve been busy with my “other job” of graphic design/garment imprinting (screen printing, sublimation, etc.). I haven’t made as much progress as I had hoped, but I was able to cross several things off of my to-do list. I leave on my first trip this month on Monday.

My intention was to make frequent posts to this blog, but, as usual, I’m a starter, and not a finisher. Oh well.

I love flying this time of year. Thunderstorms are few and far between. Flights are just the way I like them: boring and uneventful. Yeah, snow and ice are something to start thinking about, as well as low ceilings and visibilities, but, honestly, they really don’t bother me so much.

11:00 AM, Friday, August 1, 2008. I’m sitting in the pew at my parish church, St. Andrew Catholic Church. It’s a funeral Mass for one of our parishioners. She is a beautiful woman who has recently died after suffering seven months of ovarian cancer. I don’t mean beautiful in a physical way, although she was, but in a deeper, more spiritual way. She really lived out the Gospel. I really didn’t know her, but based on the testimonies of friends and family, she was a worker for God. She touched the lives of so many.

Times like this make me retreat and think about what life on Earth is about. And it always helps me reflect upon the people I love and the people who love me. I have resolved to try to keep some sort of journal, so that the … Read More »
