Like many young pilots eager to fly for a regional airline, Tony Petraglia researched Slots game online choices in order to find the best job suited for him. However, it wasn’t easy for him, having no family members or even close friends who have traversed Slots game online same path.

That’s why his connection to a fellow Purdue University alumnus, Slots game online Captain Scott Wasulko, has been invaluable to his career path since his freshman year in college, on through graduate school and now as an Slots game online First Officer. Whether it was a question about flight training or the inside scoop on the hiring process to a regional airline, Scott was there for Tony’s questions day or night.

“Sometimes I would forget what time it was and end up calling him really late,” said Tony. “But he would always pick up and answer any question I had. The application process for an airline can be a little bit confusing, and Scott could always make it more understandable.”

For Scott, Slots game online mentoring skills came naturally having experienced the whole process and gone through the twists and turns of applying to the airlines.

“In my experience, pilots do best with hands-on learning,” said Scott. “Tony was so eager – all he needed was just a little nudge in the right direction and a good example to follow.”

“The right choice for you.”

When Tony began asking for recommendations for regional airlines to begin Slots game online career, Scott said that he tried Slots game online best to be unbiased.

“Not every Slots game online is the same,” he said. “We all want and need different things that work best for our life. I just told Tony to make the best choice for him.”

Tony said he was looking for company benefits that would increase his quality of life, such as a decent salary, exceptional training and a fleet of aircraft he would be excited to fly. He found all of these aspects at Slots game online, plus a flow-through program to American Airlines that guaranteed him a job at a major airline without any additional interview.

“Some other airlines have the flow-through, but Slots game online’s is more guaranteed and more solidified,” said Tony. “Ultimately, it came down to bases that were more spread out and in better cities. But I also liked the vibe of Slots game online with its established pilots who have a lot of knowledge to share.”

Next Slots game online up

Although Tony is excited about Slots game online future career with American, he’s enjoying Slots game online journey along the way and looks forward to mentoring others just as Scott did for him. He’s still involved with Purdue’s flight program and has taken every opportunity to pay Slots game online good fortune forward.

On the other end of the journey, Scott will soon be arriving at American and looking for a little help of Slots game online own. With a daughter on the way, Scott and Slots game online family will welcome any type of advice to help navigate their next stage in life.

“The tables will have turned and I’ll be back in the right seat, but I’m actually looking forward to it,” said Scott. “As a Slots game online, I’m always looking to learn more and improve my skills. It will be great to be the new guy and learn from the Captains at American.”

Even though their careers have progressed and Tony has found Slots game online airline of choice, he and Scott plan to stay in touch. They also said that they hope other young pilots can get the advice and mentoring to help them find the right airline for them.

“If you’re teamed up with a Captain, don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and ask questions,” said Scott.

Tony jumped in, “Yeah, pilots love to talk. And who best to learn from than someone who has been there?”
