Airline Pilot Guy - Aviation Podcast gives listeners a chance to hear from real pilots. Host Jeff Nielsen and his cohosts discuss the latest airline news stories. The show examines flying from the other side of the cockpit door. In addition to specific news stories, the podcast explores best safety practices. With decades of airline piloting experience, the hosts deliver expert opinions.
Capt. Jeff served in the US Air Force for seven years as a pilot and instructor. He went on to pilot commercial flights for an airline he keeps anonymous on the show. In his 34 years with "Acme Air," as he calls it, Capt. Jeff piloted a variety of planes and jets. Despite his technical knowledge, he and his cohosts keep the tone of the podcast light. They like to joke and have fun while giving their thoughts on airline news.
The other professional pilots on the podcast are Capt. Nick and Miami Rick. The former, also known as the "old pilot," has the longest career of the podcast crew. An English native, Capt. Nick flew jets with the Royal Air Force and now pilots long-haul Airbus flights. Miami Rick has flown for airlines all over the world, from the Bahamas to South America. He put himself through flight school and has flown both passengers and freight.
Not all the cohosts are pilots by trade. Joining the podcast for news segments is producer Lyz Piper. She doesn't have any piloting expertise but edits Airline Pilot Guy. Dr. Steph, a physician and piloting hobbyist, is also a regular cohost. She has a medical perspective on news stories and loves engaging with the listeners. Nick Camacho, the newest cohost, is a mechanical engineer in the aviation industry. Though he doesn't pilot commercial flights, he has several licenses and pilots private flights.
Rather than travel advice, the podcast focuses on safety protocol and what pilots do. Having professional and amateur pilots gives the podcast a variety of perspectives. Those interested in the airline industry or piloting might find fascinating information here.
