Oscar Celli: Repping the Latino Pilot Association (LPA)!

The Pilot Network Podcast

In this episode, Adam welcomes Oscar Celli, who shares his aviation journey and awesome info about the LPA!

Oscar Celli from Cirrus and the Latino Pilot Association joins the show! Oscar is a shining example of finding the aviation bug, figuring out how to fit yourself into the system, and then utilizing it to start your journey to the 'dream job'. Oscar and Adam discuss Cirrus Aircraft's safety initiatives and, most importantly, the mission of the LPA, focusing on mentorship programs and addressing economic barriers through scholarships. The conversation delves into the critical role of mentorship amid pilot demand, diverse career opportunities in aviation, and community outreach. They explore networking synergies between TPN and LPA, the impact of LPA expos, and upcoming highlights. Oscar provides strategies to overcome self-doubt and encourages community contribution in aviation.

This episode was supposed to come out months ago, but a technical issue prevented us from releasing it! We thought it would gel with LPA's conference going on right now...even though we talk about attending a lot! Either way, we're sorry and Adam sucks!
