Welcome to another insightful episode of the Business Aviation Collective Podcast, proudly sponsored by The Business Aviation Collective and LD Aviation Services. Today, we are joined by Brian Walker, Director of Operational Services at JetLinx, who brings a wealth of experience and passion to the discussion. Known for his humorous approach to his multifaceted role—often referring to it as “What is my Aviation Job Today?”—Brian is a self-proclaimed “Aviation Schedule Defender” who takes his responsibilities seriously.
In this episode, Brian highlights the critical role of the Aviation Dispatch license, which he describes as adding “Golden Value” to the business aviation industry. However, he encourages students and professionals alike to explore the wide array of opportunities in aviation, from operations and service to accounting and marketing. According to Brian, the industry is in need of leaders who are willing to step up, make a difference, and elevate the standards of aviation.
A pivotal moment in Brian’s career was the unfortunate Comair 5191 aviation incident, which solidified his “Why” and drove him to tirelessly work towards improving service levels and mitigating risks in aviation. His dedication to safety and service is evident in his love for the Polaris Vocus software, a tool he uses to manage flight risks and fatigue scores efficiently.
Brian also emphasizes the importance of giving back to the industry and celebrating the success of others. He is always open to sharing his knowledge and insights with anyone interested in aviation.
