1. I’m with SAS working as a Flight Simulator Engineer.
2. To become one, you have to be an engineer with at least B.Sc. degree and preferably have studied aerodynamics, avionics, computer programming and electronics. It certainly helps to have a healthy interest in aviation, computers and electronics. I’m an Aeronautical Engineer (B.Sc.) myself and have been in this position for almost four years now. I got the job simply by applying to a vacancy ad on my company’s website back in 2001, having just received my diploma. Not sure if I want to do this for the rest of my life though, I’m quite interested in Public/Customer Relations so I might educate myself further to achieve the skills necessary for such a position in a few years time. I do know that I will stay in the airline business for a long time, it’s a great way to spend your life!
