Description
Jaimie Rousseau was a flight attendant for over a decade before deciding to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a pilot. In this episode she shares her experiences of her journey as both a pilot and flight attendant and the value of having been a flight attendant in her new role as a pilot. Flight Attendants are highly trained aviation safety professionals. They are the often overlooked first-responders, trained to ensure that your flight is a safe as possible when things go right or wrong. I’m quite grateful for Jaimie’s sharing of her experiences in both roles. I hope you enjoy this interview with her.
Jaimie recommends getting involved in any of these organizations if you're looking for support, encouragement, mentorship, or camaraderie on your aviation journey.
