Captain Cody have tremendous amount of years of experience in mainly Gulfstream jets , he has experience in five different corporate jet and three different Gulfstream jets .From his experience was able to show us one of the most highest technology that Gulfstream jets reach in Synthetic Vision technology and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) technology . I wasn’t and still not interested in corporate aviation for one main reason , as a future pilot I would like to be able to travel around the world , with corporate aviation I wouldn't be able to get that advantage also because of the limitation in flying hours compare to airlines pilots flying hours. Also as one of my goals to get my rate type in Airbus or Boeing which is bigger aircraft, I don’t see that opportunity with corporate available widely like the airlines. but in the positive side I can see the stability that the corporate aviation give to their pilots from stable social life style to better benefits, and they let their pilots get their hands on better and high technology enhancements to their airplanes, because the corporate can afford it where the airlines want to cut back on such stuff to save money. In the end, everybody is different in every way .I love challenging life style, exploring new things and flying day and night, I can see real joy in it. But others don’t.

2. Today’s speaker was Captain Bob Cody. Captain Cody joined the Mercer County Community College Aviation Program in the late 1970’s. He graduated the program in 1982, then started working as flight instructor at Ronson Aviation. After a long period of time, from hard work and determination, Capitan Cody started flying charter flights out of North Philadelphia as his second career step. He didn’t continue to pursue his four-year degree and, instead, earned his Associate’s degree. He also advised us to obtain the four-year degree since the aviation industry is looking for graduates with Bachelor’s degrees due to the high competition. Captain Cody was lucky to get a job interview with Johnson & Johnson; he had 4000 total flight hours before joining Johnson & Johnson. In twenty-two years of service with Johnson & Johnson, Captain Cody climbed through all the ranks at the aviation department without being furloughed. He worked there even when the aviation industry had financial troubles when the economy started to decline. Today Captain Cody still works for Johnson & Johnson and has over 10,000 hours of total flight time. He trains most of the new pilots that join the company for the first time on the corporate Gulfstream jets. Most of time Capitan Cody flies domestically, but sometimes he flies overseas. Captain Cody has a tremendous amount of experience with Gulfstream jets; he has experience in five different corporate jets and three different Gulfstream jets. From his experience he was able to show us the highest technologies that Gulfstream jets use: Synthetic Vision technology and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) technology. I wasn’t then and still am not interested in corporate aviation for one main reason: as a future pilot I would like to be able to travel around the world. With corporate aviation I wouldn't have that advantage because of the limitation in flying hours compared to airline pilots’ flying hours. Also as one of my goals is to get my rate type in Airbus or Boeing, the aircraft of which is larger. I don’t see that opportunity with corporate aviation as widely as with airlines. But on the positive side I can see the stability that corporate aviation gives to their pilots. From stable social lifestyles to better benefits, in addition to the ability their pilots have to be more hands on and use advanced technological enhancements on their planes. This is because the corporations can afford it whereas the airlines want to cut back on such stuff to save money. In the end, everybody is different in every way. I love a challenging lifestyle, exploring new things, and flying day and night. I, personally, can see real joy in it.

Most of the time Capitan Cody flies domestic flights though he also flies overseas flights on occasion. Captain Cody has a tremendous amount of experience, mainly with Gulfstream jets, though he also has experience in five different corporate jets and three different Gulfstream jets .He was able to show us details of the highest technology that Gulfstream jets have in Synthetic Vision technology and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) technology . I wasn’t and am still not interested in corporate aviation for one main reason, as a future pilot I would like to be able to travel around the world, with corporate aviation I wouldn't be able to get that advantage. Also there is the limitation in flying hours compared to airline pilots flying hours. As one of my goals is to get my rate type in Airbus or Boeing, which are bigger aircraft, I don’t see that I would have that opportunity with corporate jets. On the positive side I can see the stability that the corporate aviation sector would give to their pilots; from a stable social lifestyle to better benefits, and they let their pilots get their hands on better high technology enhancements to their airplanes, because the corporate sector can afford it whereas the airlines want to cut back on such stuff to save money. In the end, I love the challenging life style, exploring new things and flying day and night, I can see real joy in it.
