EVERYONE WANTS TO BE AIR STEWARD, STEWARDESS OR PILOT AND WHY NOT? THEY ARE LITERALLY HIGH-FLYING JOBS AND YOU GET TO TRAVEL FREE AND SEE THE WORLD AND BE A BETTER PERSON FOR IT AND NOT LIKE 'KATAK DIBAWAH TEMPURUNG' OR 'FROG LIVING INSIDE A COCONUT SHELL' WHICH MEANS YOU ARE VERY INSULAR, INTROSPECTIVE AND BACKWARDS!

Firefly inspires aviation careers for
undergraduates
Firefly held an interactive
session today to educate and promote aviation related careers for
undergraduates from Universiti Teknologi Mara (Uitm), Melaka. The event which
was a joint initiative of Firefly and Subang Skypark Airport, with the support
of Malaysia Airports Berhad, was held at Terminal 3, the airline’s central hub.
This half day session included motivational
presentations and speeches by Firefly’s outstanding personnel from different
divisions and a complete tour for the students to witness the airlines daily
operations and its business model, the ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft.
Ignatius Ong, CEO of Firefly who was also
there to support the event as one of the speakers himself, said, “The purpose
of initiating this session is to enthuse our local undergraduates by connecting
them with achievers within our company and making them understand that career
prospects in the industry are extensive, and beyond the common conception of
the general public. Therefore, we are equally emphasizing and exposing these
students to the commercial as well as the operations side our
business.
Ong reiterated that being a pilot or a
flight attendant are most visually seen, promoted and talked about. However the
main objective of today’s session is to give a better insight and enlighten the
students on other equally lucrative career options within the aviation
industry.
Ong concluded that the employment in
Firefly is solely based on integrity, passion, commitment, credibility as well
as future potentials seen, and gender is not a selection factor.
