The VIP Seat: Private Aviation News
One Priester, OneFlight Questions, and Flexjet’s London Bet
This week on The VIP Seat, we unpack who is gaining control across business aviation—from airport policy and FBO economics to charter platforms, premium terminals, and cockpit safety culture. Chris Rocheleau is leaving NBAA to lead Airports Council International–North America, putting a former FAA leader at the helm of the organization representing airport operators across the U.S. and Canada. We look at why that move matters for airport access, infrastructure, FBO power, fees, and the future relationship between airports and business aviation. Rocheleau is set to become ACI-NA president and CEO on October 5, succeeding longtime leader Kevin Burke. We also break down Priester Aviation’s “One Priester” rebrand and what it really says about the company’s acquisition strategy. With Mayo Aviation, Hill Private Aviation, Omni Air Transport, Elite Jets, and MaxAir now inside the broader platform, is this simply a brand consolidation—or a push to own more of the client journey from jet card to charter to aircraft management? Then, OneFlight’s story gets more complicated. We discuss reports of financial and operational pressure, questions around operator payments, the company’s aggressive growth and marketing strategy, its short-lived surcharge, and why a jet-card company’s ability to deliver promised lift is ultimately a balance-sheet question. We were also on site at Farnborough for Flexjet’s new $34 million private terminal—the company’s first dedicated facility outside North America. More than a lounge, it is a statement about global fractional growth, customer experience, training, maintenance, and who controls the private-aviation journey on the ground. Finally, we examine the Nicholas Air whistleblower case and what AIR21 protections actually mean for pilots and other aviation workers. When a crewmember raises a reasonable safety concern, where does legal protection begin—and where are its limits? In this episode: Chris Rocheleau’s move from NBAA to ACI-NA Airport influence, FBO consolidation, fees, leases, and access Priester Aviation’s rebrand and completed acquisition roll-up OneFlight’s financial and operational questions Flexjet’s Farnborough terminal and global fractional strategy Why pilots receive whistleblower protections under AIR21 The difference between a safety culture statement and a safety culture in practice Thank you to our sponsors AB Jets, REAL Jet, and Wingform for making this show possible as well as Wingform

Brett Baker Returns: Weight Loss, Avionics, and What's Next
Season 4 closes out with a returning guest...Brett Baker of Cleared to Adventure was one of the very first people on this show, back in episodes 4 and 5, and this time we caught up in person on a gravel bar in Alaska. We flew in on the HawkWagon, caught some glacier views along the way, and recorded with actual gunfire in the background from neighbors sighting in rifles nearby. Hard to imagine a better way to close out a season. Brett opens up about something a lot of his viewers have asked about: a DEXA scan earlier this year that came back with a biological age of 68, despite a background in competitive swimming and Ironman racing. That result changed things fast — no alcohol, no sugar, and 43 pounds down since. He puts it in pilot terms that stick with you: the cheapest way to add useful load to your airplane is to take the weight off the pilot. We also dig into the Dynon versus Garmin conversation everyone's been asking about, this time with real flight hours behind the opinion instead of a hot take, plus where Brett's headed next — a faster, IFR-capable airplane for more family travel, and a floatplane flight together that's already been teased. If you've followed this show from the beginning, this is the one that brings it full circle.

The Calm Cockpit Podcast
The Pilot Is the System: Training the Mind with Avi Gordon
Season 2 Episode 19 What if meditation could function like a simulator for the mind? Meditation teacher, coach, and author Avi Gordon joins us to explore how a simple meditation practice can help pilots train attention, recover from mistakes, regulate emotions, and respond more skillfully when things don’t go according to plan. From bounced landings and checkride pressure to perfectionism, breathing techniques, and the power of a five-minute daily practice, you’ll learn practical ways to recognize when your mind has wandered, interrupt unhelpful mental spirals, reset after a mistake, and bring greater focus and self-awareness into the cockpit. Avi is a coach, meditation teacher, author, and professional interviewer who has spent decades exploring awareness and presence. His background spans international and special education across four countries, and he previously served as Director of the Integral Yoga Teachers Association and host of the Integral Yoga Podcast. Today, his coaching and teaching combine meditation, self-inquiry, and thoughtful conversation to help people bridge practical achievement with inner well-being—not as an escape from reality, but as a way of meeting reality more skillfully. Links: Avi Gordon Wellness: Personal coaching, meditation courses, and library of guided meditation practices for enhanced well-being, confidence, relationships, forgiveness, healthy eating and a wide variety of goals.
