About Me

Hello,

I am Bryan Zandi, an aviation enthusiast, Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), and Assistant Professor (AP). I hold a type rating for the wonderful Embraer 190 Jet and currently serve as a First Officer Pilot for one of the United States' greatest regional airlines, flying the Embraer 175 jet out of Chicago O’Hare (ORD) International Airport.

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 Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA) and a minor in Leadership. I plan to pursue a Ph.D. in Aviation or Leadership 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!
