A Word from Our Lawyers

The following should not be considered as actionable advice. Any approach to capitalizing on these opportunities should be carefully considered. You should discuss any transaction with your financial advisor and tax professional.

It would be wise to take on additional investment risk only after establishing a firm financial foundation and having some investment experience.

RECENT MARKET CORRECTION: INVESTMENT DISCUSSIONS

Recent market corrections have created potential opportunities to purchase quality stocks at discounted prices. The following should not be considered as actionable advice. Any approach to capitalizing on these opportunities should be carefully considered.

You should discuss any transaction with your financial advisor and tax professional. It would be wise to take on additional investment risk only after establishing a firm financial foundation and having some investment experience.

Before I share, I want you to know regardless of your financial sophistication level, keep these principles in mind:

 

  1. Your Pilot Career Is Your Biggest Asset: Make investment decisions that complement your unique career risks and rewards, not those that duplicate them.

  2. Respect Your Schedule: Your irregular pilot schedule may mean you can't monitor the market closely. Design an investment approach that accommodates your lifestyle.

  3. Psychological Discipline: Aviation training emphasizes disciplined decision-making. Apply the same approach to investments by developing and following clear procedures.

  4. Professional Guidance: Consider working with a financial advisor who specializes in airline pilot finances to tailor these strategies to your specific situation.

  5. Focus on Risk Management: In volatile markets, high-quality businesses with strong competitive advantages, experienced management teams, and solid balance sheets typically outperform over the long term.

THE RESOURCE CENTER

Where Pilot's Financial Journey Takes Off

Picture this: you're at 35,000 feet, hands steady on the controls. You wouldn't dream of flying without a flight plan, would you? Yet how many of us navigate life's financial skies without that same careful preparation?

Our Resource Center isn't just a collection of articles—it's your preflight checklist for financial success. From the fundamentals on "Finance 101" (your true north without which no journey can begin) to the advanced maneuvers of "Finance 301," we've mapped the best routines we’ve learned over the years.

Make no mistake: "Finance 101" isn't simple—it's critical. Like those pre-flight checks you'd never skip, these foundational conversations require honest self-assessment. What values actually drive your decisions? What matters most when you're not wearing the uniform? This is where you'll calibrate your internal compass, ensuring every financial decision aligns with the life you truly want to live.

As you progress through "Finance 201" and "Finance 301," you'll gain the confidence to navigate increasingly complex financial matters with the same mastery you bring to the cockpit.

Our promise is simple: every idea we share, every strategy we review, seeks to serve your best interest. We understand that pilots don't just want financial entertainment—you want financial wisdom that honors your purpose and values.

So take control. Explore. Learn. When you're ready to see if working with us makes sense, we'll be here—process in hand, ready to serve.

The tower is clear. Your financial future awaits.
