Q&A With Darryl Wilson

(interview me)
Darryl Wilson
Airline Captain, United AIr Lines
Location: Roswell, GA United States
Joined: Sep 23rd, 2009
About   (request update)
Had one of only two slots in a worldwide search to start up the graduate assistantship and computer science program at Ball State. Became a Naval Aviator and Navy Flight Instructor instead. Top Gun stuff right out of the movie (except I didn't fly jets, I flew and managed an airborne strategic platform)
My Interview Question
If you had a magic "one-wish" wand good only for the next 24hrs.. what one thing would you change?
Life & Professional Aspirations:
Well, not yet a millionaire.. missed that by a few years. Started a business. Closed a business. After 9-11, still haven't recovered and looking for some help to make a dramatic career change trajectory. I did it before, I can do it again. Because of stigma with age however.. I can't do this one on my own.
Education   (request update)
High School: Satellite Beach in Satellite Beach, FL class of
 
Activities & Accomplishments:
Long jumped over 20 feet at age 15. Ran 50 sec quarter mile at same age, almost beating the world record holder (Houston McTear) in the District finals.. he and his team mate blew by me in the last 3
Best Memories:
Accidentally coming up on a KKK meeting. The escape was legendary. (no kidding) Jumping 23' at the Florida Relays.. scratching by THAT MUCH. Running down a 100 yard lead in the Sprint Medley. Climbing a Stairway to Heaven with Pat and Walter. Beth, Donna, Pat, Mr. Percy Hedgecock (Sr).. who in one night put more faith in me than any person in that school. The observatory, the crowd of 15000+ screaming fans roaring up during my track event. (Never forget it). Ken Lunderman for his demonstrated ability to get gain respect as a man, despite his age. EE Truex for teaching me how to look past bias and race (his) to still learn something.

I currently work with United AIr Lines as Airline Captain
I have 26 years of experience working in the Aviation/Aeronautics industry.
