About Justin

As a pilot for United Airlines Inc. and deeply concerned for the future of our nation's veterans I would like to be of service to individuals who are in need of guidance regarding a career as a pilot or less specifically in the aviation business. While my primary area of expertise is the major US airline pilot career track I could also give more limited advice regarding an aviation career at large or other piloting career directions.

The aviation industry, particularly the major US airlines, are undergoing a renaissance due to consolidation within the industry and it's future is becoming particularly challenging and brighter than in recent years. The industry is redefining itself through competitive and structural changes that will soon require tens of thousands of dedicated professionals and among them a record amount of airline pilots due to the retirements of the 'baby boomer' generation. This is actually becoming a particularly exciting and prosperous time to become an airline pilot and I would like to share my experiences and frank knowledge of the career path with veterans who might be interested.

The airline pilot career path is not without it's considerable financial and educational requirements however it's a career that can be very daunting and challenging both fiscally and mentally. I do however strongly believe that veterans are normally already equipped with the fortitude and integrity required, so please contact me so we may discuss the frank realities of pursuing a career as a pilot or in aviation.

A small bit about myself. I have been flying since age 15 in many parts of the Western Hemisphere in the private, corporate, US Part 135, British CAA Part 135 equivalent, freight and cargo, transport category experimental, US regional and US major airlines areas of the industry. I reside in Palm City Florida with my wife and two daughters and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Professional Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and an MBA from the Huizenga School of Business at Nova Southeastern University.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kindest regards.
