The need for qualified workers across business aviation is as strong as ever. While pay remains a top consideration for many looking for a job in the industry, “there still are really good people out there who are looking for compensation and culture,” notes Jennifer Pickerel of Aviation Personnel International. “Don’t underestimate the value of building a good culture and understanding how to share those values with your prospective talent.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Clint Cannaday, operations and safety analyst, Inflight 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.
