Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
My name is Giulio Cangiano and I am an Italian airline pilot living in Sicily and Capri Island.
My story started on the small Island of Capri where I lived since 1987. When I was young I fell in love with the use of my first Personal Computer. During that period I learned a lot about Informatic technology and science.
l still love to play flight simulator games and socialize with many people around the world. I am considered a very sociable man.
When I was 13 years old I was “bitten by the aviation bug”. Every year I struggled to find a job with a good salary to start thinking seriously about my aviation dream. I still remember every night awake finding a solution to my success.
However, my financial resources were not enough to make me ready for the big step when I was an adult.
So I started improving my skills in Informatic technology and this took me a lot of time and I became an average student during my Business Technician Diploma Course.
When I was 20 years old I started thinking about cancelling the dream and having a "normal life".
I met my Wife, I started a long relationship and I had a lot of different jobs. Now we are a beautiful family with two amazing children.
At 27 years old I decided not to have any day more dreaming of being a pilot without trying this seriously.
So I talked with my family and I decided to work for many years with a huge amount of hours daily. My wife helped me a lot in this when she realized that a "happy husband is the best husband".
That time changed my life forever!
After many different jobs and enormous sacrifices, I finally started my flight training and completed it in 2021 at the Tecnam Flight Academy.
I still remember 2015 going to the job every day at 08:00 local, coming back home in the night with my children already sleeping and trying to stay awake to study for the Private Pilot Licence and the Airline Transport Pilot Licence course.
In 2017 I finally started improving my score in my life when I was finally able to focus seriously on my aviation career. This is what motivation and goals do to you! From that day I realised that I was able to do everything in my life!
At the end of 2019, I was destroyed by handling family, job and hard study. The ATPL course was incredibly difficult but I was done with CPL, IR with frozen ATPL theory, MCC, UPSET Training and Medical Licence.
I was ready for the aviation market but the Covid came. Another dark and really hard period in my life. But as always I never gave up!
When the COVID-19 period ended I tried to apply for some important airline companies and a few months later, at 34 years old, I obtained my first job as a commercial pilot at the biggest airline in Europe. 
I demonstrated a high standard of CRM and NOTECHs throughout my flight training with excellent Manual Skills in flying aeroplanes. I learned how to work under stress, manage non-normal conditions and improve communications to high standards.
I can perform my duties for a lot of hours consecutive and the most important fact is that I always did my best in every single job I had.
So at the end of the story, I can say that I am the most happy man in the world just because I believe in myself!
My slogan is “Never give up on something you really want”.
