Have you ever been pepper sprayed?
I have not! I have a feeling I'll have to go through this soon though as I'm a fan of self-defense classes.

Trickiest ever landing?
Good question! I was brand new to the plane that I fly now, the CRJ 900. I was landing in Bradley-Windsor, Connecticut. On final approach, we were told that the winds were shearing around the field. We opted to continue to land, given conditions didn't get worse. As we landed, the winds shifted and we lost airspeed. I adjusted by adding power and we landed safely. While we were rolling out, the control tower advised everyone that a microburst had moved over the field. We were the last ones to land for the next two hours!

Where is the farthest place away from your home town you’ve ever been?
Paris, France. I try to go every few months.

what made you to go with Delta
I fly for one of Delta's Connection carriers, the only one owned by Delta. They had the best payscale, easiest pathway to Delta, and generally the most respect out of the others.
 
Do you want to fly the other aircraft like the 757 or 747
 
Do you want to fly the other aircraft like the 757 or 747
I would love to! My dream plane to fly right now is the 757-300 series (the stretched one). I like the look of long aircraft.

Have you ever watched blue bloods?
I have watched the funny Youtube clips of the police chief, but I haven't watched the actual show. Hah!

Favorite movie ever?
Definitely Sully, the movie about Captain Sullenberger who landed his Airbus 320 on the Hudson River in NYC following a dual engine failure.
 
Have you ever do flight simulator
I have a couple of times. I used to have a home-simulator set up but I don't now. I've got my own aircraft so when I want to fly, I just go do.

Do you like to read? If so, what do you typically read?
I enjoy reading, but I don't read as much as I should. I'm currently working through Stephen King's The Gunslinger and his memoir On Writing.
 
If you was to do flight simulator again would you?
 
If aliens arrived, would they consider Earth to be a source of great potential, or the galaxy’s low rent district?
 
If you were given a PhD degree, but had no more knowledge of the subject of the degree besides what you have now, what degree would you want to be given to you?
 
What are some fun and interesting alternatives to war that countries could settle their differences with?
