The Pilot Network Podcast

Are you frustrated with your squadrons’ aircrew scheduling process?  Are you receiving emails of excel spreadsheets to view your monthly flying schedule?  Is the schedule you’re viewing outdated by the time you request to volunteer for an event?  Would you like to know instantly when a change is made to an event that you signed up for that might impact your training and/or personal schedule?  If the answer to any of these questions is yes – Our guest Tyler Allerding will be talking about his new aircrew scheduling software – ProFlyt Blue.

What we have here is someone who endeavored into the unknown and crushed it! George Moore is an Air Force academy graduate, turned tanker pilot, who dabbled in RPA’s and then decided to start an airline…Not too bad for someone who can just barely see 40 years of age over the horizon…

As a family man, officer, and CEO/Founder of a burgeoning business, George makes time to talk with TPN about how this all came to about. Part military, part business, all pilot…the man who created Quick Jet Charter goes far beyond the call of duty and always puts his clients first, no matter the time or place.

I hope you enjoy the conversation…I know I did!

In Episode #29 we do an inbetweenasode with Liz Duca the Founder of PreFlight Aviation Camp for girls.

Mark your calendar for #BigGive2018 – March 22, 2018

The mission of PreFlight is to transform beliefs about gender roles and inspire young girls to takeoff into their future. Through aviation, we connect camp activities to broader life lessons in order to build girls’ self-esteem, empower them to reach their goals, and inspire the next generation of pilots.

Our 5-day, overnight summer camp for girls, ages 11 to 14, is a one-of-a-kind transformative experience. Based in San Marcos, Texas, PreFlight is staffed by female military-decorated and civilian pilots with over 50 years of combined flight experience. Activities conducted at PreFlight range from STEM-based, hands-on aviation experiments and team-building exercises, to piloting a simulator and flying an airplane with one of our female instructors! What sets us apart from other aviation camps is our focus on the whole-person concept, combining aviation with life-skills development and creating healthy dialogues to uplift, empower and challenge each girl to think critically.

Seeing is believing and by placing young girls in an enriching environment, surrounded by female aviators and role models, they are empowered to believe that becoming a pilot is an attainable goal. By donating today, you can invest in the next generation of pilots and elevate a young girl to new heights!

PreFlight’s Impact 

• Nearly 500 girls empowered through numerous outreach events and camp since 2016
• 100% of campers strongly agreed they learned aviation concepts that helped them feel more confident
• 100% of campers strongly agreed they were inspired to follow their dreams by attending PreFlight
• 100% of campers strongly agreed that PreFlight taught them to believe that becoming a pilot is possible
• “The experience was valuable and will provide me a lifetime of memories. I have a better understanding of what I am capable of now and in the future as I choose a career path.” – 2016 Camper

“You Can’t Be, What You Can’t See”– Marian Wright Edelman

• Only 6.7 percent of pilots are women
• Only 4 percent of airline pilots are women
• Women comprise 47 percent of workforce, but only 24 percent in STEM fields
• 112,000 pilots needed in the U.S. for the next 20 years; 600,000 worldwide
