Alaska Airlines Captain George Bozlinski joins us on this episode of Talking Flight. We have a great conversation about George's journey into a flying career and his adventures at Alaska Airlines.

Here are some of the things that we covered in this episode:

• How he worked with a student pilot who had a fear of flying.
• George's past life as a Mime.
• His most embarrasing moment as a 727 Second Officer (Flight Engineer).
• A retirement flight that went rogue, and how today's technology would prevent that from happening.
• The life of a 727 First Officer (Copilot).
• How the September 11, 2001 Terror Attacks inspired George to become a Television Producer.
• George's methods of getting a pilot through a training issue on the 737.
• The day George and his friends hit a golf ball on the world's longest commercial runway.

This is a great conversation that we know everyone will enjoy. George says "Don't Give up!....Believe in yourself!"

Captain Mike Swanigan interviews Alaska Airlines Flight Simulator Engineer DeMarco Best about his journey into the world of Flight Simulation. It all began on a 6th grade field trip to the JFK airport in New York.

Demarco tells us what he had to do to overcome his initial difficulties in getting through the challenging USAF training environment. 

Later, they talk about the upcoming shortage of Simulator Engineers and Simulator Technicians.

"In Technology, you have to keep learning, or you will be left behind." DeMarco Best.
