Ready 4 Pushback - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As a CFI working toward the regionals, Ready 4 Pushback has become a regular part of my routine. The hosts speak from real experience and bring on guests who’ve been through the grind—flight school, instructing, interviews, and airline life. It’s not sugar-coated, which I really appreciate. They cover the stuff nobody tells you in training: what to expect during indoc, how to prep for the interview, and how to balance the job with real life. It’s a solid mix of advice, encouragement, and straight-up honesty. This podcast is 100% value.
