Yeah, the normal university or traveling the world. And the one thing that I felt also that there is no promises, even if I get to 1500 hours, there's no promises someone will get me to the airlines to make my dream come true. So It was really hard to keep believing in the idea of maybe. And at that time, all the negative comments affected me. Now I know better, but it really added.

really, really hard. And I think what helped me at that time, sometimes your supportive environment, this is what you need. You need a good word from someone close to you or a little encouragement. And this is all you need. And this is what I got from my family at the time, which was exactly what I needed to go back and continue my journey.

I think I did a mindset shift. I went back to the beginning when my vision was so clear to me. I went back to that. And sometimes it's like a roller coaster, especially in this kind of a journey. And sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, sometimes you don't believe.

And I think at this moment I decided I'm believing no matter what people tells me, I'm putting everything in the background and I'm just continuing. And I put myself on autopilot. I was taking the most out of it. I started to actually enjoy. And I think also when you're a new flight instructor, it's really hard.

There's a lot of things, new things, like everything you start for the first time, it's hard. And you're not always, you know, the best of it in the beginning and you have so much to learn. And I think me as wanting to be the best at everything I do was difficult. But once you pass this barrier, I think things open up. I started to enjoy it. I was better.

I think my fear caught me at different momentum than other people in aviation. And I know because I was speaking to my friends and a lot of people are afraid of their first solo and how they'll do. And I think I was confident in my solo. I know I'm going to land it. I know I'm going to do well. But The fear was always, you know, the first step is like you need to do landings.

And then the next step is like, you know, flying an approach. And then you have to do maneuvers. And every time before this step started, I was like, am I going to do well? Am I going to do well? I wasn't sure, like every time I had a doubt in myself if I'm going to do well. But once I was released to my solo, I knew I'm going to do well. So when you leave me by myself...

After 1,500 hours, this is what you need to get in the airlines in the U.S., I got accepted to my first airline. It's a regional airline. This is normally will be your first company. And they do flights in the US mostly on a smaller airplane. It's not a small airplane, but it's a smaller. It's between 50 and 70 people on a jet. And then I started my training, which is a three-month training.

It's including a lot of knowledge, aeronautical knowledge and simulator, a lot of simulator training to train all scenarios and to learn the airplane. And then one week before the end of training, COVID hits. And then they send all of us back home. And now the big uncertainty, I finally made it. I'm already there. And all of a sudden they changed all my plans.

And I was in a big cloud of uncertainty. I went back to Israel. I didn't know when they'll call me, if they'll call me. And it was a really tough time, but I needed to stay optimistic.
