This program is the culmination of every aspect you've told us you need to approach new employers, start side hustles and tackle freelance work. We also discuss the importance of being ready when aviation reopens. Our 20 years of coaching pilots for 40+ airlines in one powerful program.
If you are pilot who needs to transition to a secondary career or temporary role, the Pilot Transferable Skills and Transition Program combines 16 short content packed coaching audios, 3 downloadable Workbooks and Inspiring Pilot Interviews.
For many pilots any additional cost is too much, so whilst we have done our best to make this super affordable, please get in touch if you need to talk. Supporting each other costs nothing and if we can help, we will.
"Thank you so much for your support and guidance. The advice you provided through the Pilot Transition Program helped me a lot, especially during interviews.
The past few months have been filled with mixed emotions but the program inspired me to broaden my horizons and try something different.
It also helped me to address concerns from the employer that I would return to aviation in the near future.
I hope many other pilots are benefiting from the program!"
For pilots still employed, building a secondary income stream into your career plan now, is an essential tool to future proof your income, financial security and employment options.
Your Skills Are Relevant And Transferable
The next few years are going to impact pilots differently, how you feel, what you decide to do and what options you have. There may be times when frustration and anger take hold. When the lack of control at not being able to do, what you were born to do, becomes overwhelming.
For those reasons we have put together practical steps and key information you can use to move into this next phase of your working life.
The Pilot Transition Program also contains inspiring audio interviews in which Kirsty talks to pilots who have reimagined themselves in the business world. Some have gone into non-flying roles and others who been impacted by the airline industry shutdown in different ways.
"80% of pilots have not had a smooth career ride, my dad was a pilot during the 'pilots dispute' and I was in Ansett Airlines when it went under in 2001, so I always had a side hustle going on" Naomi Radke Ex-737 Captain - Entrepreneur
