A320 checkie, been flying last 18 years and have just started my new job in security. I find it helps to get out of the house even though it is only 3 days a week. The income in a week is what I did earn in half a day but I have always been a believer in ‘if you can work you should’. Funnily enough the big boss found out I had a history in airline safety and came to have a talk to me about aviation safety and how it may translate to his business and asked if I might be interested in a role in this area in a few months time. You never know where this crazy journey will go and what opportunities may pop up. I have enrolled as well for extramural study for a qualification where I can start earning after a year and be qualified after two leading to a decent wage and a career that is totally non-aviation related. I hope to get back flying but don’t want to waste the next 12 months to the be let go.
