Ep. 93: From Delta Flight Attendant to Flight Instructor

from Pilots Say What?

We sit down with Casey Talbot, a flight instructor at Thrust Flight, to talk about her journey from working as a flight attendant at Delta to becoming a certified flight instructor. Casey shares what it was really like to leave a stable airline career, start flight training in her mid-30s, and commit fully to aviation while raising two kids. We dive into fear, motivation, study habits, Part 141 flight training, checkrides, failures, and what helped her push through moments of doubt—especially during instrument training.
