Time flies when you’re having fun! Celebrating two years at UAL, this year brought a transition to becoming an instructor pilot on the 757/767 fleet, marking one of the most challenging yet rewarding milestones of my career. It’s been an amazing journey! Flying to incredible destinations like Amsterdam on the 767-400 has kept my skills fresh. Excited for more adventures ahead, with some exciting prospects on the horizon for Jake. Stay tuned!

Crazy to think 4 years ago, today, we were settling in for a “2 week” lockdown. I started a little series singing and playing piano in my apartment to help pass the time. I still think of this song all of the time – “Slow down, you crazy child, you’re so ambitious for a juvenile” #viennawaitsforyou

8 year old me is freaking out about being in the Sears Tower (okay, Willis tower). Happy to check out the @united headquarters and see the operation “from the other side of the desk.”

Grateful to be here for the Ribbon Cutting of the new “H” building at the flight training center. We already held the title of “world’s largest flight training facility” – now we’ve leapfrogged even further ahead. Had the opportunity to hear CEO Kirby talk about the future of United Airlines and our partnership with the City of Denver. Did you know that United Airlines is the #1 private employer in the State of Colorado? In addition to the nearly 18,000 pilots that visit the training center every 9 months for recurrent training, United employs nearly 10,000 employees in Colorado alone. Proud to be a little part of history today. (even got to run into Captain Marc Champion who gave me my shot at United!) @scottkirby @united

Latergram: Had an absolute blast on a last minute weekend trip to New York. The best kinds of trips are when you don’t even book the hotel until you are wheels up. Got to explore Hells Kitchen, have dinner with @binofly and @jonnybmke, see WTC, walk through central park and the zoo. 10/10.

Had a blast paddleboarding today 🙂 Somebody keep me away from REI because I need to own one of these!
One small step for an airline…. One giant leap for accessibility! Today, @united, became the first U.S. airline to add Braille to aircraft interiors, helping millions of travelers with visual disabilities more easily navigate the cabin independently. I am very proud to fly for a company where Good Leads the Way. #accessibility

Jake Nelson, 757/767 Instructor – darn glad to meet you!! I am beyond honored and humbled to join the United Flight Training center as a new simulator instructor. Today is the beginning of about a year-long journey to teach and evaluate United pilots – both rookies and veterans – as we work toward the goal of the world’s best pilot group. I am excited to work “in the mothership” in Denver. I will still be flying “the real deal” regularly, but I am looking forward to working with “the next generation” of pilots. Come fly with me – virtually! 😁

“Connecting people, Uniting the world.” Taking a moment today to reflect with gratitude – March 22 marks one year at United Airlines. This year has been one of tremendous growth, change – and one heck of an office view.
Grateful for my “Core4” friends – Brady, Brandon and Kevin for being such incredible classmates and peers. Nothing makes me happier than randomly running into them across the system.
This year has seen thousands and thousands of miles, many incredible layovers – including Hawaii and London. I got to take mom to Kona for her 60th birthday. Got to fly all 4 variants – The 757-200, 757-300, 767-300 and 767-400.
Officially moved to Denver, Colorado. Became a pug step-dad. Worked with some awesome mentors and new friends.
The new studio is the house is “getting there.” Excited to start singing and making videos again soon.
Extremely excited for the next big step – which I can talk about in a few days time. I have never felt more at home – This is where I am supposed to be.

Three years ago, today, the City of Dallas entered a “2 week” lockdown. I figured – “Hey – If I’m going to be stuck in my apartment for 2 weeks, I might as well sing.”
Who would have thought the world would change so much. Which makes the song even more poignant. “Slow down, you crazy child… take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It’s alright, you can afford to lose a day or two” #viennawaitsforyou #singersofig #singer (Cute pug to prevent reels)

Only 4 hours late due to a temperamental Chevy Blazer… I FOUND A SHAWNA MAMA ❤️
Had the opportunity to grab lunch with Chris, Julie and Hayden today. Chris and Julie were instrumental in inspiring me to become a pilot – they helped set up my “Young Eagles” flight when I was a wee lad. That flight in a Cessna when I was 9 years old was when the aviation bug officially bit me. I think it’s pretty cool that today will also be a “first” for me – Later this evening, I will make my first Atlantic crossing with United. I will fly Washington DC-London. I am so full of gratitude for this family – from the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU for helping to light that fire!!!!
