In this episode of Runway Life, host Craig Butterworth sits down with Alex Howell — a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 Top Gun pilot who transitioned to the airlines and is now stepping into an instructor role on the Airbus A350 at a major legacy carrier.
Alex opens up about his path from flying fighters off carriers to life as an airline pilot, what the transition really looked like, and how he built a successful career without coming from a “legacy” aviation background. He also shares valuable advice for aspiring pilots who are working toward their own aviation goals.
Whether you’re aiming for the airlines, curious about the military-to-civilian transition, or just want to hear firsthand lessons from someone who’s flown at the top levels of both military and airline aviation, this episode delivers insights you won’t want to miss.
