Caesar Simon – Commercial Airline Pilot

What's Next? With Steve Blasen

This podcast was such fun! Caesar has a great story and great energy! Born and raised in Missouri, right after graduating high school on a Friday, Caesar enlisted in the Navy the following Monday. He was encouraged by an electronics class instructor in vocational school to enlist in the Navy. Caesar managed not to work on ships while in the Navy and fixed electronics on P-3 aircraft. He did manage to stay one night on a ship after a night of drinking while in Florida. While stationed in Florida, Caesar stumbled upon a flying club on the base where people could learn to fly. What was initially meant to be fun, eventually became a career! It wasn’t easy though. Caesar really worked his a** off to get to where he is now, sacrificing while young and able, working his way up from private flights, to becoming a certified flying instructor, to buying his first job! Nowadays, Caesar tries his best to work west of Denver (Hawaii) and live his dream in California. On his off days, he stays busy with woodwork, metalwork, CNC machine work, and more. I hope you enjoy the podcast!
