Peter Weber On Passion For Flying & Interacting With Fans

Transcript

00:00I fly out of Newark Airport all the time, and I fly United all the time, so I'm like,

00:03when is Peter gonna be my pilot?

00:04Where are you going?

00:05I mean, all over the place.

00:07Are you going international?

00:08I'm going to London next week.

00:09That's not on the 7-8, unfortunately. Not one of my routes.

00:11Well, I know that pilots are not out and about doing meet and greets,

00:14but do people ever approach you? Have you had any recent, like,

00:18are you, well, are you traders? Does anyone ever say anything to you?

00:22Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, there's a lot of traders fans out there. A lot.

00:25It's the best show.

00:26It really is. I had the time of my life on that show,

00:28and I'm so happy it resonated with the audience.

00:31Yeah, it's been really cool to get a lot of support, you know, walking through the airports.

00:34The 7-8, the airplane that I fly, the cockpit's a little bit,

00:37it's separated from the first class cabin.

00:39Like, there's a big galley area and then, like, a big walkway,

00:41so it's not like a smaller, narrow body where you can see the pilots right away.

00:45But when I do see people, you know, walking through the terminal,

00:47it's always cool to chat and hear their support and their love for the traders.

00:50It's cool.

00:51That must be so funny.

00:53I'm waiting for, like, it's your Captain Peter and, like, whatever,

00:56but I guess I don't, where do you fly?

00:58So I'm doing everything pretty much international.

01:00So out of Newark, we do a lot of Tokyo.

01:01I do a lot of Lisbon.

01:03Used to do a lot of Tel Aviv.

01:04Unfortunately, that's been paused right now.

01:05Got it.

01:06A lot of Barcelona, a lot of Athens, Delhi, South Africa.

01:09And then if you're doing mainly domestic, I do a lot of Newark to L.A.

01:13That's my domestic run for the most part, but that's not that much.

01:17Okay. You still love it, though?

01:18Oh, absolutely.

01:19Yeah, I'll never stop flying.

01:20Not until the day I have to retire.

01:2165, God willing.

01:23That's my passion.
