Brandon Bailey / Chief Pilot American Airlines / Fighter Pilot
11/28/24 • 50 min
I first met Brandon Bailey over 20 years ago as a new pilot working on his commercial license. In the years since, he has served the United States in combat operations as a F-15 fighter pilot, is an Airbus Captain and Chief Pilot for American Airlines, and currently flies the F-15 for the California National Guard.
In addition to all of his career successes, he is still the amazingly humble and kind person I met decades ago.
