In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe is joined once again by Scott Smith, a UPS Captain and proud JetPROP owner. Together, they explore Scott's experiences flying the iconic 747-800, his journey transitioning to the JetPROP, and the impact of advancing technology on aviation—especially as it pertains to single-pilot operations. The discussion also delves into the complexities of hot section inspections and the emotional challenges of stepping away from a long and fulfilling aviation career. Got a question for Joe?
