About Me

Hello,

I’m Bryan Zandi, an aviation enthusiast, an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), and a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). I hold a type rating for the wonderful Embraer -190 Jet and currently serve as a First Officer Pilot for a regional airline, flying the Embraer 175 jet out of Chicago O’Hare (ORD) Airport, Illinois.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Science with a minor in Airport Management from Green River College in Auburn, WA, and graduated on June 15, 2018. My associate’s degree was in Aviation with a focus on Airline Dispatch.

On March 12, 2023, I proudly graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) with a Master’s in Administration in Aviation (MBAA) and a minor in Leadership. I plan to pursue a Ph.D. in Aviation at ERAU.

For now, I cherish every moment spent flying passengers across the East Coast and Midwest. Once I meet the FAA's minimum requirements, I aim to upgrade to captain in a few months and eventually transition to a legacy airline!
