Week Six

I was able to set something up where I could go out to Phoenix and meet the people from my first four weeks, so I was in Phoenix with them for a few days this week. I was able to sit down with them and talk some more about AppSec and how cybersecurity will affect my career as an airline pilot, as well as potential career shifts based on how unmanned flight progresses in the airline industry. We spent a good long while discussing aviation cybersecurity and the future of UAVs and drones, and how that relates to what their company does. It was a great wrap-up to the first part of my project and I greatly appreciated meeting in person the faces on my computer.

The rest of the week, I was back at Panera, working 12-hour days. It was crazy again, and we had to deal with a much higher quantity of rude customers than normal. I finished the closing checklists, and they are printed and ready for use. I knew how much managers had to bounce around during the day, but I never realized how exhausting it was. This next week I start studying for my private pilot airman knowledge test.
