Ensuring a
Pleasant Journey Up
in the Clouds

never
thought she would
end up in the local
aviation industry, let
alone with Firefly
airline. However, two
years into the position
as a line operation flight engineer, she
considers her early days as a Surveyor a
thing of the past, and is currently right
on track in following her heart’s true
calling.
“Well, I was very unsatisfied
working as a Surveyor. I still remember
how I used to drag myself to work
every day and in the end I just knew
I couldn’t do it anymore. It was by
a stroke of luck that I came across
Firefly’s recruitment advertisement, and
it was then all the pieces came together
to complete my jigsaw puzzle.”
Job Satisfaction
“We make the planes safe for all the
pleasant Firefly journeys up in the
clouds. Not many people know what it
takes to make it happen. I understand
now it isn’t as simple as it looks, and
I can say that it certainly takes a lot of
work. I guess, the attraction for me is
the job satisfaction … the satisfaction in
making sure everything runs smoothly
like clockwork, all the time.”
Love for the ATR’s
I prefer smaller aircraft like the ATR
500s and 600s.They are aircraft you
can grow very fond of because of their
simplicity in design. Small aircraft like
these also provide a more intimate
experience not only to those who fly,
but also to those who take care of them.
