Summary
My airline career began with Jet2.com in late 2013, on the highly competitive Pilot Apprentice Programme, prior to my first flying role as Second Officer in early 2015.
Since then I have consistently focussed on measured growth and self-development while taking every opportunity to further hone my skills with Jet2.com. This approach resulted in promotions to Senior First Officer, before applying my hard work and experience on what was a challenging but successful command course in late 2022.
I continue to thoroughly enjoying my third year of command with Jet2.com. In parallel with flying the line, I have worked alongside Flight Deck Recruitment for the last eight years, where I advocate for the Jet2.com Pilot Careers Brand while leading and assessing group exercise and interviews.
