Nicola Peet left school at eighteen, went to college and then worked at a local airport. After nine months, she went to work for Saudi Arabian Airlines and then she joined British Airways as n air-hostess. For years later, she got her present job as a manager.
This is what she told us about her job:
“ My office is at Heathrow Airport, but I spend 60% my time in the air, I teach air-hostesses and help them with any problems. I also go to lots of meetings. My hours are usually from 8 am to 4 p.m but sometimes I work from 1 pm to 9 pm. At work, the first thing I do is to check plane time on my computer and then I speak with some of the air-hostesses. Sometimes I go on long flights to check how the air-hostesses are doing. That’s my favorite part of job, but I like office work too. Traveling can be a hard work. When I get back from a long journey, all I can do is eating something and then going to bed! I don’t earn much money, but I’m happy with British Airways and want to stay there and continue to travel.”
