Max walks into a 737 cockpit guarded by a five-inch hula girl and promptly invents the “Shakira Scale” for bumps in flight . Listener mailbag hits everything from the best starter credit card for flight instructors to whether a degree really matters and if paying $5 K for ATP-CTP is smart when you’re 49 and eyeing the next hiring wave . In Flight Advice, a military helo pilot with only ten working years left asks whether to chase a major or ride the fractional lifestyle . Plus: back-country flower bombs, 37-hour B-2 runs, and a polite plea to stop yelling at the intro.
