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
an air-hostess. Four 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% of 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 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 favourite part of the job, but
I like office work, too. Travelling can be 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.”
