We’re interested to hear from commercial pilots and cabin crew who were made redundant during the pandemic. Have you been able to find new employment as a pilot or cabin crew? Have you switched to freight airlines or private jets? Or maybe you have retrained in a completely different role. Either way we would be interested in hearing about your experiences. Thank you.
