Many years ago I moved from managing a newspaper to managing the cargo dept of a small airline. Within a year I was managing the airline (probably there was no-one else who wanted to do the job). The change from media to aviation is not as traumatic as you would think. We all have technical people and journalists and pilots come out of the same school - professional moaners and whingers who are never paid enough! You will fit in very well as aviaton is just the best place to work. The folk are friendly and the job is fun. Go for it - you will never regret it - I didn't.
