  • Practical Info Tailored for Pilots

    Love this podcast. The information presented is holistic, including the reality of the aviation industry and the saving/spending habits of pilots.

    As both an age 30 pilot at a major and a spreadsheet nerd, I especially loved how thoroughly Ep 13 covered the math of direct 401k contributions. I’m surprised at how you masterfully communicated a spreadsheet in a consumable audio format.

    Thank you for the invaluable insights!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Roth, 401a, and DAF Strategy
Q: Will taking NEC as Roth affect my ability to contribute or convert to a private Roth IRA?
No; taking NEC as Roth does not prevent contributing to or converting with a backdoor Roth, but you should be mindful of pre-tax IRA balances and the pro-rata rule when converting any pre-tax funds, and you should consider how your overall tax picture reacts to Roth vs pretax choices.

Q: How do Beacon Relocation and its network specifically help controllers and pilots with their real estate transactions?
Beacon pairs clients with a nationwide network of vetted agents and offers a monetary credit back at closing, which can be applied to closing costs or given as a cash refund, improving the buyer's or seller's bottom line.
What's Your Career Worth? 2026 Updates - Airline Compensation & Trends with Kit Darby
Q: What is the current state of airline pilot compensation and its drivers?
Compensation is strong overall due to a shortage of pilots, with contract-driven raises and significantly improved retirement contributions; however, the long-term outlook is tied to economic cycles, demand growth, fuel costs, and capacity decisions.
