Everyday Heroes

Welcome Everyday Heroes, I’m Bert Botta, the creator of the Everyday Heroes podcast series and welcome. One day about 3 years ago I experienced something that would forever change how I look at relationships! Here's what happened …I was the editor of the Private Jet Pilots newsletter and I was doing interviews for pilot profiles in the newsletter. I’ve always been a “people person” but so much of the time my relationships were like “Hey, how you doing, gotta run!” That usually left me wanting more. But during the interviews, I got to really know my fellow pilots, I discovered how much I really enjoyed getting to know them on a more personal level by working with them that way. That feeling of connection made me realize that I found something that I’ve always been good at, connecting people with something that I really enjoyed doing, TURNING INTERVIEWS INTO PODCASTS that connect everyone, the guys and gals who I interview with the ones who listen to my podcasts and me! Perfect! Long story short, everyone wins! My podcasts are more than random stories; they are powerful messages of entertainment, hope, education, connection, and community for my listeners, especially for those of us in the aviation community.

(10) Behind the Wall! Captain Bob's Chinese Flying Adventures!

October 19, 2020 • Bert Botta

Captain Bob found out that everything's negotiable in China! If you don't believe me, listen to Captain Bob's outrageous story of flying in China, what he went through to get there and how he negotiated that the Chinese pay for his wedding as part of the deal!

Bob used to fly for Netjets, the same company I flew for. If you or anyone you know is chasing a flying job because of the airline layoffs and you or they need to know what it's like to get a flying job in China and also what to expect when you get there.

Or if you just love a good story, you gotta hear Bob's tale of adventure, especially how he had to learn Chinese to study for the ATP written exam to get hired!

This guy is one of the most positive pilots you'll ever hear from and what he went through to get a flying job is an inspiration to not only pilots but to anyone who needs a shot of whoopee during these times!

This is an insider's look at the Chinese flying culture, how they do business, why everything's negotiable and what it takes to succeed as a pilot in their country.
