I started as a flight instructor in general aviation, then moved into corporate turboprops and jets. From there it was 19-seat commuter turboprops for a regional airline, followed by Boeing jets at America West, where I also worked as a simulator instructor and evaluator. The last 29 years have been at United Airlines, where I've flown as a Captain and served as an active Line Check Airman, the pilot responsible for evaluating whether the crews I fly with meet the standard. Over 24,000 hours across that whole arc, general aviation through international wide-body airline operations.
