Training & Check Pilot

• Jan 2006 - Jan 2009

During my time with Australasian Jet I spent time based in Darwin, Alice Springs and Melbourne. I would travel between out-bases (e.g. Mackay, Groote Island, Gove, etc) conducting Check & Training duties on our flight crew in any number of aircraft types operated by the base. I would also perform line flying duties, predominantly in the B-200 King-air out of Essendon, Melbourne. Whilst based in Alice Springs, I held the Base Manager position. Soon after accepting the role, the local airline (Aboriginal Air Services) ceased operations, providing an opportunity for expansion. Our base grew from 5 aircraft to 9, including the introduction of the Cessna Caravan turbine engine aircraft. I added an additional 3 line pilots and a full-time receptionist to meet demand. Within 3 months our revenue numbers far exceeded any previous records set by the base and we were almost completely self sufficient given I had the ability to conduct all internal flight checks/endorsements/renewals.

Food and Beverage Attendant

• Jan 2000 - Jan 2004

During my time studying at University, I was employed at The Hilton Melbourne Airport as a Food & Beverage Attendant. I also had the opportunity to work at some of their other sites, including Hayman Island and Hilton on The Park. I would work throughout different departments throughout my time here, really enjoying learning about how each area functions, what skills are required to work within each department and how they all communicated with one another to provide a streamlined product to the guest.
