Kit Darby shares how he went from an Army fixed-wing pilot to a United Airlines captain and top industry mentor. He talks about choosing seniority over loyalty, surviving furloughs, and helping thousands of pilots land airline jobs — all while staying ahead of every industry curve.

He gets into how pilots can play the seniority game, avoid career-killing moves, and get ready for the next hiring wave. If you’re serious about flying for the airlines, this is the strategy talk you need.
