² T 1.3

A. My name is Rebecca White. Taking care of passenger safety is the most important part of my job. The captain briefs us on safety issues before each flight. I also check emergency equipment on the aircraft. I help passengers board the plane. I also show them how to use any emergency equipment. In the air I have to supervise the other cabin crew and give them instructions. If someone becomes very sick I need to talk to the captain. I give passengers food and drinks during the flight. On international flights I collect money when people buy duty-free products. I work on my feet, which means I sometimes get tired. I also hand out arrival cards if we’re landing in another country. After we land I need to write a report if anything happened during the flight. I usually work about 170 hours per month, half in the air and half on the ground. I usually have 10 days-off each month. I really enjoy my job because I have a chance to meet and help people and of course I get to see many places.

B. My name is Mark Ryan. My main responsibility is controlling the movement of aircraft. I make sure there’s a safe distance between each aircraft in the air. But I also help to make aircraft follow their schedule, so there are no delays. In my job I work in the tower with three other people sharing the same work. We spend most of our day sitting down, watching aircraft and talking to pilots over the radio. We are responsible for them on the ground, and in the air near our airport. Before aircraft take off the pilots contact me to get instructions. After aircraft land I’m responsible for making sure they get to the correct gate safely. I usually work 160 hours per month. I have to write reports when things go wrong. My job is stressful sometimes, especially when the airport is busy and I have to talk to many pilots at the same time. When this happens I remember that I’m responsible for the safety of hundreds of passengers at one time. I get one month of holidays each year. I like my job because I like to be busy and enjoy working under pressure.

C. My name is Charlie Rogers. My main responsibility is helping the pilots by operating and monitoring the aircraft systems. I have to know all about all the technical things in the cockpit where I work. I’m the only person on each flight who has this job. I work closely with the pilots and we discuss any problems. I spend most of my time sitting just behind the crew. Before each flight I walk around and check the aircraft to make sure everything is OK. Before we take off I help the captain with the pre-flight checks. After the flight I always walk around the aircraft again to check everything is OK again. I don’t know how long I’ll keep working because technology on new aircraft can do my job. One thing I don’t like is I have to do a lot of tests and write reports. I usually work about 140 hours per month, half in the air and half on the ground.

² T 1.4

- In today’s program we’re continuing the theme of ‘lives of people’ in different industries. Today we are going to focus on a very important industry – aviation. And I’ve got three people here to talk to today: Rebecca White, a purser for Pacific International Airlines, Mark Ryan, an air traffic controller at Melbourne Airport, and Charlie Rogers, a flight engineer also working for PIA Airlines. Okay. Let’s start with Rebecca. Rebecca, could you tell us a little about what made you decide to work for PIA?

- Sure, well, I was born and grew up in Brisbane, and my father was a pilot. I think I had my first flight when I was about 5 years old. I loved it straight away. After I was 8 he often took me on flights from Brisbane to other cities in Australia.

- I see. That sounds interesting. But why didn’t you become a pilot?

- Well, I never thought of flying a plane, but I loved travelling and when I was 19 years old I started a course at Brisbane Tourism College to become a flight attendant. This is a 2-year course. After this I was very lucky. I got a job with PIA in 1994. The only problem was that I had to move to Melbourne and leave my parents in Brisbane. I had training in Melbourne for about 1 year and in 1995 I had my first flight when I was about 22. Then in 1996 I got married to Charlie – two years after we met when I started at PIA.

- And did you get a chance to travel around the world when you started work?

- Well, no, not exactly. I worked on domestic flights between 1995 and 1999. I flew between Melbourne and Sydney, and sometimes Melbourne and Perth. I flew on Boeing 737 at that time, but then in 2000 I was offered a better job. They asked me to do more training on Boeing 767s, so in 2001 I started flying between Melbourne and Bangkok, Singapore and Beijing.

- And are you doing that still?

- Not really. I was lucky enough to be given another job as a purser in 2002. After that in 2003 I started flying on 747s. Sometimes I still fly to Bangkok, but that’s only when we stop on longer trips to Europe. Now I fly to London, Paris and Los Angeles.

- How exciting!

- Yes, but not always. Sometimes I get very tired after flying so much, and I’m sometimes away from home too long.

- I see. And can I ask, do you have any children?

- Yes, I have a daughter. She is three years old.

² T 1.5

- OK. Let’s move on to Mark. Mark, could you perhaps start by telling us about your childhood.

- Well, I was born in Sydney in 1972, but moved to Melbourne when I was about 12. It was after this that I got interested in aircraft and air traffic control. You see, my uncle was an air traffic controller in the 1970s. He started taking me to visit the control tower when I was about 15 years old.

- I see. So how did you become an air traffic controller?

- Well, I finished my school in 1989 and then went to university. I studied engineering for four years and finished in 1992. But in 1991 I got a part-time job as a baggage handler for 1 year for PIA Airlines until 1993. I got bored with this, so I applied for a job with Melbourne Air Traffic Control when I was 25 and started training there for 6 months. I had a big exam at the end of 1995, but luckily I passed. Then at the end of 1996 I travelled overseas to China and Korea for 6 months. When I came back I started my career as an air traffic controller when I was 27. But I still needed more training, so between 1997 and 1999 I had classroom training and on the job training at the ATC centre. I passed another exam in 1999 and then became a qualified controller giving pilots simple flight information at first. In 2000 I moved to the control tower and started as a ground controller. Oh I met Shelly when I was 29, and we got married in 2002 too.

- And are you still working in the tower now?

- Yes, I am. But now I have more responsibility. After being a ground controller for 1 year in 2001 I became a departure controller. Then in 2002 I became an arrival controller and I’m still doing this now.

- OK, thanks, Mark. Sounds like an interesting job.

- Ok. Now let’s talk to Charlie. Charlie, what important things happened when you were a child?

- Well, I was born in Melbourne in 1971 but moved to Perth when I was about five. I stayed there until I finished University in 1991 – ahh I studied mechanical engineering. Then I moved back to Melbourne when I was 22 and in 1992 I got a job as an aircraft maintenance engineer for Pacific International Airlines. I started on a small aircraft but when I was 24 I moved up to maintaining engines on Boeing 717s.

- Mmm, interesting. So, how did you become interested in flying?

- Oh, well, while I was working for PIA. In 1995 I started flying single-engine aircraft (as a hobby) and then in 1996 I got to fly twin-engine aircraft - the same year I got married. Because I had a licence to fly and had a job as a maintenance engineer I decided to apply for a job with PIA as a flight engineer. So in 1998 I started training as a flight engineer on Boeing 717s. And when I was 29 I worked as a co-pilot on Boeing 717s to get some more experience.

- So, you were a pilot?

- Yes, I was a co-pilot on the Boeing 717 between 1999 and 2000.

- Why did you change to the job as a flight engineer?

- Ah, well I started flying later than most pilots for the airline, but I had a lot of technical skills with engines, so I thought if I become a flight engineer I could get a better job quickly. And this was true. When I turned 30 I got a job as a flight engineer on Boeing 737s.

- Okay. But what about your personal life - you said you were married- could you tell us more about that?

- Yes, my wife is a flight attendant for Pacific International Airlines, her name is Rebecca. Mmm and we have one daughter who is three years old. Her name is Iona. Next year we’re planning to travel together to Europe for a big holiday.
