Tomorrow I’ll have to go for a simulator check again. I wrote a blog before that I’ve worked at a Simulator company before called CAE. I think that is a good way to start this blog by telling a little bit about this before I write about the check itself. I worked as an operator …
I never googled this but I now know that for some people this is a big issue. Can I be in aviation (pilot or flight attendant) and have a child? The answer is Yes you can. BUT! You sure can have a child but it isn’t easy, let me explain why. In my case, I …
It has been 11 years actually but if you don’t tell anyone I won’t do that as well. (I wrote this before the corona crisis) If I look back on my aviation career I made some mistakes as well, things that I would have done differently but also things that I’m very proud of. Let …

Most of you know that I’ve been in a collaboration with Hamilton watches for some time now. It has been so much fun to work with them. But before I start talking about 2 watches I want to tell you something about a trip I made some time ago. I (by coincidence) had the pleasure …
