What do you do now? Ex crew, post your current job and how you got there
-
#1 Ex Norwegian, 6 years flying, now a nurse in Oslo. Three years of study, started while flying part time. Post yours: what you do now, how long it took, would you recommend it.
-
#2 Corporate jet crew. Did a corporate course, networked for six months, freelance day rates then a permanent seat. Recommend if you like unpredictability and money.
-
#3 Teach cabin crew courses at a college in Melbourne after 20 years at Qantas. Took a teaching certificate. Recommend for anyone who liked the training side.
-
#4 Flight attendant instructor at an airline in Brazil. Applied internally after 5 years flying. Recommend, you keep the aviation and lose the jet lag.
-
#5 Recruitment consultant. Assessor days first, then an agency job, then my own clients. Recommend if you like people more than aircraft.
-
#6 Hotel operations manager. Guest services skills transferred completely. Recommend, but the pay took a year to catch up.
-
#7 Cabin crew trainer, regional airline in Brisbane. Same as Gabriel. The best of both.
-
#8 Interesting how many stayed near aviation. Nursing is the outlier but the shift work tolerance made it easy.
