An orthopedic surgeon during the week and commercial pilot on weekends, Glen Subin recently earned his captainâs wings.
Itâs a small distance, spatially speaking, to move from the right seat to the left seat in a commercial jet. What it represents, however, is a huge shift in responsibility.
âItâs a lot of work but that is the part that excites me,â Subin said. âNow I have to think about the big picture from getting the plane off the ground to back on the ground. The captain is the ultimate role, he makes the decisions and he is the boss. It is his responsibility, good or bad.â
