Your Path to United: https://bit.ly/UALPilotApplication ... My latest trip as a United Airlines pilot took me 16,700 miles back and forth across the Atlantic four times to Zurich, Switzerland. It was a long time to be on the road, especially over the Holiday Season!... But I love flying the 767-300 and Zurich is an incredible destination. In this video, you’ll learn about reserve assignments, the trip's structure, and how I manage international rest. Plus, I experienced my most adventurous overnight to date flying Swiss airplanes over the Alps. I hope you enjoy a behind-the-scenes view of how a trip like this comes together!

A special thanks to my friends in Switzerland Lio Hilber (@liothepilotperson) and Thomas Zottos (@thomaszottos) for taking me flying in some absolutely incredible aircraft over the Alps! I’ll have a tough time topping this experience.
