Remember, I am just a line pilot, not a recruiter for NJE, so it's only my opinion.

These are the choices you put in front.

First choice would be a working for an FBO. You're in the aviation environment already. Not only would you be working with crews but also owners and other high net worth people. So you'll gain an appreciation for how that side works. (flight packages, filing flight plans, wx and notams etc, cleaning, restocking, maintenance, fuel, transport and meeting pax).

Second choice. High class hotel. Front of house sort of stuff so you get to meet and greet people and help to solve issues that crop up. If possible, silver service.

Third choice (and it is dependent on a few things). Flight Attendant. Now, absolutely nothing wrong with being an FA but, to get the sort of experience that is required you have usually been a FA for a few years. Namely, working business class or first class. To become a FA on a bizjet you've already got several years of business/first class experience in an airline and or silver service experience in a hotel or high end corporate catering.

With this job, the flying's (mostly) the easy part. It's what happens on the ground that takes time to learn.
