  • Ep 36: Life in the skies, the career of a pilot with Captain Jeff Neilsen.
    Jan 3 2026

    Welcome back Joes, todays guest is a good friend who is now a retired Delta Airlines Captain. We discuss how he got into flying and how it led to him becoming an airline pilot. We only skimmed the surface of his airline career in this episode, but we will have him back to discuss that further in depth. He also happens to be one of the biggest Aviation podcasters there are, starting his podcast The Airline Pilot Guy (Formerly the Catholic Pilot) years ago before podcasting was even popular and many of the more popular Aviation podcasts in existence are influenced or even direct results of his podcast.
