In this episode, we sit down with Abel Rivera, an airline captain whose path to the flight deck is rooted in small-town beginnings and big ambition. Growing up in West Point, Nebraska, Abel once dreamed of joining the Marines before charting a new course in aviation. He shares how his background shaped his resilience and perspective in a competitive industry. We also dive into life beyond the cockpit, including the support and drive he shares with his wife as she pursues her medical degree. Abel’s story is one of determination, adaptability, and rising to new heights—both personally and professionally.
