Email interview with a commercial pilot ?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone on the forum would be generous enough to offer some answers via email to about 10 questions for my sons kindergarten project ? (career day - Pilot)
We're looking for a commercial airline pilot to answer some brief questions about training, duties, hours, early inspirations etc...
Thanks for any help!
Sincerely,
Steve Rieck

Welcome Steve and your kindergarten son. You will find our little community has some of the best people always willing to help out especially on a topic that is close to their heart.
I don't know about your son's project, but depending on time and availability, you might find a local pilot who might be persuaded to make a personal appearance in class. And accompanied by your music! Or have a pilot give a tour of the cockpit of a plane. Or a visit to the major airport near you.
Here's a call to our Delta guys.

I did a job type appearance at a friend's second grade class one time.
My favorite question was "Can you fly over Monster Island?"
That just warms the heart!
