The Tailwinds & Sunshine Podcast

Hey there, feeling like life's got you in a rut? Well, let me tell you something – you've got way more power over your life than you give yourself credit for. In today's discussion, I’ll dig into a couple of real-life scenarios that might resonate with you.

First up, imagine missing out on that big interview with United. Ouch, right? But here's the thing: it's not just bad luck or fate at play here. Your actions, your decisions, they play a crucial role in shaping your path. Sure, setbacks sting, but they can also be pivotal moments for growth and change.

Then there's the SkyWest situation. Facing the prospect of upgrading to the CRJ might not sound too appealing. But hey, think of it as an opportunity to step up, to challenge yourself, to expand your skills and horizons.

So, here's the takeaway – take control of your life, own your choices, and embrace the setbacks as stepping stones to something greater. It's all about perspective, determination, and seizing those moments of uncertainty to leap forward into a brighter tomorrow.

Let’s goooo!

Professional Bag Stacker: Special Guest | Micah Vobora | Part 2

What are some of Micah’s icks? Oh.. he’ll tell you alright. Once again, we talk about the Spirit furloughs and rumors surrounding the news. Which do you like better the 737 or the A320? Apparently I’m old... which is why I think the 737 is a better looking plane. I encourage my friend Victor to continue on his aviation journey despite his age and I finally reveal the reason Micah is my favorite spotter of all time! This and more in today’s episode. Let’s go!

About Micah:

Micah, a ramp lead for Alaska Airlines in Salt Lake City, UT, caught the aviation bug early on. As a kid in California, he'd gaze up at the sky, dreaming of piloting "family-sized planes" whenever those little Cessnas zoomed overhead. His love for planes soared even higher around 2016 when he discovered flight simulator videos – and let's just say, he hasn't landed since!

When Micah got his driver's license, his dad gave him the classic "get a job" talk. So, naturally, Micah took off (pun intended) to the airport for work. Starting off with Prospect, where he rolled with wheelchair service, Micah's journey eventually led him to the Alaska Airlines ramp gig in late 2022.

Sure, he's not a big shot mainline employee, but Micah's loving every moment of his job. From wrangling planes to juggling bags, chatting with pilots, and maybe even moving a jet bridge or two, there's never a dull moment. Plus, bonding with coworkers over card games adds an extra bit of fun to his day. Micah's grateful to be living his dream and is always ready to take flight into another awesome workday!
