  EasyJet

  Jan 2006 - Jan 2007

  Cabin Crew

  I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a year at easyJet as cabin crew just before making my decision to start my pilot training. This allowed me to work with a dedicated and skilled team helping deal with the day to day service on board a busy scheduled airline and any medical and flight safety emergencies that could arise. I feel I gained masses of experience which could play a vital role in my future of aviation.
