The airline transition

CONTRAILS

Four stops from the decision to day one: the seniority clock, the language of the line, every base scored, the first year. Start wherever you are standing.

Illustrative drawing: a military instrument stack, with airspeed, altimeter, attitude indicator, vertical velocity and heading, fades into an airline primary flight display where each instrument has its place. The mode strip across the top is the only new element.

The Squadron

Not a forum. Not a blog.

A community you are used to.

You have lived this model before: a ready room, a crew room, people with more experience who hand it down anyway. The Squadron brings that culture to the transition.

Who is behind it

Built by pilots who made the jump.

Contrails comes from a former military aviator, now a Boeing captain at a major airline, and a network of pilots who have made the same transition from fast jets and heavies alike. No recruiters. Just people who fly the line.
