Even after thousands of hours spent on airplanes, whenever I hear a plane fly overhead you’ll always catch me lookin’.

Happy National Aviation Day to all the professionals and aviation enthusiasts. Best job in the world. 💜 Brownie points for whoever can tell me where this is. I have to say it’s probably my favorite place to plane spot 🤓

“We would just park there for hours and watch it.”
-
At 6 years old, Andrew DaCosta stood with his dad near the arrivals of the . With a radio in hand, they listened to and watched the countless flights overhead!
-
Thanks to his dad, Andrew built an early passion for aviation, and first attempted to get his pilot’s license at Mercer County Community College. Due to lack of planes there, though, he figured he’d just get a traditional degree and work for an airline company.
-
Andrew studied Engineering at and afterwards worked in the field for a year. However, his life became monotonous. Everything down to when he drank his pre-workout shake became routine, and he knew he needed a change. So at 25 years old he left his job, moved back in with his parents and spent 2 years chasing his dream.
-
He finished flight school, hit his required flight hours by piloting planes in Saipan, Guam and Texas, and then landed at Piedmont Airlines in Philly. In his 4 years there Andrew became a captain; however, in the last 2 he became a captain at !
-
Now, he’s living his dream while inspiring others to chase theirs. Having kept track of his journey on Instagram, Andrew’s met people who were influenced by his path, and he even flew one of them to their first airline training a few weeks back!
-
Going forward, though, he hopes to pilot a very specific journey - Andrew hopes to someday fly his parents back to Portugal (where they’re originally from), bringing his inspiration and achievements full circle! Great hanging with you, .drew!

Started the day with a Lemonade and a Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and ended it watching from the pit box!

Huge thanks to for this once in a lifetime experience. Being pit side watching Tyler and his team do what they do best was a blast.

This whole thing got me thinking… Who do you think would win a drag race down a runway, Tyler Reddick’s v8, or the Airbus? I could definitely tell you which was louder… 😅

Good luck on your race today Tyler_Redd!ck👏💖

First trip as a fully qualified captain in the books! A quick Newark to Detroit turn. The last few months have been a whirlwind to say the least, but so worth it. Before very flight attendant briefing I had with crew started with “so, I’m brand new” and the support and love made me feel so welcome. The personal notes and snacks were a great touch. From friendly talks with gate agents, to the wisdom (and patience) from our instructors and check airmen, it’s been a blast so far. Honored to work along side all of our great staff.

Back in August I put in a last minute bid to upgrade on the Airbus A220. To my surprise I was awarded the position, and knew I had a lot of work ahead of me. Today I passed my checkride, and it’s yet to settle in what the heck just happened! Never did I think I’d have an opportunity like this and it’s not lost upon me how lucky I am to be in this position.

Our training program has truly been a great experience. Even more so, I couldn’t have asked for a better new hire FO to work with. Next step will be flying with a line check airman for some time, before getting my final sign off to fly as a fully qualified captain. Still a lot of work ahead, but in the meantime I’m going to try to savor this moment. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself; you’ll be surprised as to what you can accomplish if you can give it your all. Looking forward to getting back out there!

Wishing you all the best! 💕
