I have been a major airline Captain for the last 27 years.
But because I came from practically nothing and rose to the very top of this industry.
I feel it’s my duty to help and inspire the next generation.
Just because I made it, it doesn’t make my opinion more valid than others less fortunate.
I don’t wish to brag on myself.
For God knows I’m nothing special.
Just ask my wife, she’ll let you know.
Truly, I often wonder how the hell I ever did so well.
But I have always been passionate about aircraft.
From my days as an aircraft spotter to apprentice aircraft mechanic.
I feel I could do anything, just so long as it has to do with aviation.
When I’m not playing airline Captain.
I’m an aircraft mechanic and line boy.
When I’m not doing that I’m a flight instructor.
I own my own aircraft and assist with various training programs and charities.
I am also a aircraft dispatcher if I ever lose my medical.
But after flying for the same airline for the last 32 years.
I’ve kind of had enough.
Some days more than others.
But people would kill to be in my position, so I soldier on.
It’s a hard luck life, but somebody’s got to do it.
Emirates is a dreadful place to work at.
We hire many Captains from them, and they are relieved to have escaped.
Read the countless pages of information on this subject in the Middle East section of this site.
