Sean's Story
School
After H.S. I spent a year and a half as a flight instructor in West Chester and then went to the Upper Bucks County AMTS (Aviation Maintenance Technical School). Following completion of the aviation maintenance course I went back to flight instructing and working as a pilot for Shadow Traffic, flying traffic watch over Philly. In 1984, we transition to the college section.
College
In May '84 I decided to go to college. In August, I was there. I still haven't taken an SAT in my life. I enrolled in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and aquired my B.S in Aeronautical Science in 3 years. While there I worked my way through school by flight instructing. The last year I was there I flew a WWII open cockpit trainer towing banners up and down the beach...you'd be surprised how many sharks lurk just off shore;)Also in my last year, I got married and my son was born. Did I mention the cancer? Busy year!

As you may surmise.....I am a pilot. After College, my first real job was with Bar Harbor Airlines (an Eastern Distress affiliate) out of PHL. Furloughed, I went to American Eagle and was based in BOS for 2 years where I upgraded to Captain and then Instructor. I was transfered to JFK for about 11 years in various aircraft as Captain, and now am Based in BOS again flying ERJ's (50 seat jets made in Brazil) as a Captain and check airman, and instructor.
I've just been picked up by American Airlines and am a First Officer for the MD-80 based in DCA with a bid in for LGA. After flying the MD-80 for 2 1/2 years I checked out in the 757/767 International out of JFK. (APR 2018) After 4 years flying to Europe and South America, as well as the Caribbean, I just upgraded to Captain on the Boeing 737. I will be in the domestic division until they merge with the international later this year. It is good to be the King again!
