Surviving Your Initial Airline Training:

First off let me say congratulations if you are listening in preparation for your new job. Preparing for your first training event can be stressful, intimidating and question filled. Hopefully our conversation today will help ease your mind.

Preparing prior at home:

  • Talking with your spouse about the time commitment, stress, etc.

BJG at BJC 7Welcome to episode 73 of the podcast where we give you an inside view of various aviation careers. Some of you have written this show asking me to interview someone who is involved with aviation safety and others would like to hear more about jobs in the insurance field.

Previously, B.J. managed flight training for an aviation university and worked in aviation safety with the Center for Aerospace Safety Education and with the American Airlines flight safety department. He holds a M.S. in Safety Science and a Ph.D. in Aviation with a Safety concentration.

Dr Goodheart and I discuss:

  • Jobs in aviation safety.
  • What is a claims manager.
  • Various jobs in aviation insurance.
  • Advice for those wishing to pursue a career in aviation safety and insurance.
  • Why you should consider an advanced degree.
