The outlook for business aviation hiring remains strong, despite a number of challenges weighing on the global economy. However, job seekers must carefully consider multiple factors when making their employment decision. “People who are looking for work [must] not be swayed by the shiny objects [compensation alone],” emphasizes Jennifer Pickerel with Aviation Personnel International. “When there’s a lot of opportunity, I think there’s even more responsibility to do your diligence.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Jennifer Guthrie, CEO, In-Flight Crew Connections
- Jennifer Pickerel, vice president, Aviation Personnel International
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
