I believe the aviation jobs Jeremy Spake has had in recent times are more in the nature of consultancy/
PR contracts rather than full-time employment.
But he has fallen into the media world and his agents pick up all sorts of things for him there. He also does a good deal of charity work. And for aviation work see here :

He also appears in Russia from time to time. He is fully fluent in the language, although coming from Essex, as his mum is Russian.
Best moment was the Millennium 2000 coverage. Jeremy had been sent by the BBC to Moscow to do his usual light-hearted coverage from there. Hey presto Boris Yeltsin resigns as President that day. All the usual Moscow journos are unavailable, so
JS gets plonked in front of a camera and is put through reporting the number one political story of the day. He carried it off pretty well.
