S1 E12: Crew Room Live (Stephen Ellwood) Air Traffic Control

Today we’ll be speaking to Stephen Elwood, who used to be a long haul cabin crew for a major a carrier. He later went on to to work in air-traffic control at Britain’s first digital Control tower at Cranfield, and if that wasn’t hard enough, he also welcomes private jets their occupants to the UK. That a story in it’s self. I found this story really fascinating,  as of when Stephen left employment as cabin crew, he had no idea what could be achieved. Not knowing your next career move,  is one of the major worries of most cabin crew. They really don’t appreciate how far they can actually go when they put their minds to it. and sometimes settle for second best. As you will hear. Stephen had no formal qualifications for this. Stephen had a great sense of humor and would be great if welcomed back on the show any-day. If you would like to watch the visual live version of Not Just Crew.
