Do pilots and flight attendants work as part of the same flight crew every single flight, or do you work with different people every flight?

If you work with each other routinely, do you develop friendships and spend your free time together when you're in cities other than your home city? Do you work better because you're friends? This question was posted by a CareerVillage administrator on behalf of the students of CareerVillage....

I'm interested to know what a day in the life of a social media marketer in the airline industry is like?

I love social media and if possible, would like to make it my career. Is there a marketing role at airlines that focuses primarily on social? If so, what do you actually do on a day to day basis? #marketing #aviation #airline-industry

I heard that a lot of pilots come from the military. Is that a requirement?

I’d like to be a pilot, but I don’t want to join the military. Would I be at a disadvantage? #aviation #pilot

Do you get to travel a lot when working in the airline industry? Or are most jobs working in an office?

When you work in a more corporate environment (not actually on a plane) at an airline, how often are you traveling for work? What job functions travel more or less often than other jobs? It is my dream to be able to travel a lot as a part of my job, but I don't necessarily want to work on a...

How do you handle emergency type situations during flights?

Does the safety training you go through help to prepare you for that? What exactly does the safety training entail? How does training vary by role? I'm asking because I'm interested in a job working as a flight attendant or maybe even a pilot, but I'm worried that if something bad happens I...

I know that pilots learn using simulators, but when they make the transition to piloting a real flight, how different /difficult is it?

Can you describe what it's like going from learning how to fly a plane using a simulator to what it's like actually flying one? Is it a really difficult transition or do the simulators feel so much like real life that it's not that different? I'm also interested to know how long the first few...

Since flight attendants and pilots are always traveling, how difficult is it to have work/life balance?

How long, on average, are pilots and flight attendants traveling at one time? How hard is it on you and your families to be traveling so often? #aviation #pilot #flight-attendant

What's it like being an air traffic controller?

How many hours do you work at a time? Do you get to take breaks? Are you in a dark room staring at a screen like the show in the movies? #air-traffic-control
