Any suggestions on finding opportunities to talk with a pilot either on the plane or at our 2-3 hr stopover in ETAR. Job seems to be almost exactly like what I've done for most of my flying career--fly jets around the world at a moments notice to a variety of locations...always changing. I am prepping my application and want to know more. Thanks.
Flying back tomorrow? So is my husband, I told him to tell the FAs I work at Atlas and ask to say hi/thanks to the crew. It's a neat plane and I'm sure they would show you the front and entertain any questions. I was hoping to meet the jet in ETAR Monday but unfortunately I'll be at BWI waiting!
