Airline pilots who may be thinking about transitioning to business aviation should take time to conduct a bit of research and carefully weigh their options to determine if the industry is a good fit. Former Part 121 pilots, who are now with Part 91 and Part 135 operators, share their experiences making the leap and why it worked for them.
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Sheryl Barden, CAM, CEO of Aviation Personnel International
- Dylan Miller, department manager for a Part 91 operation
- Keith Wolzinger, captain with a small Part 135 operator
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
