#27: Seamus Timms | Pilot @ Jetstar

The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).

In this episode we interview Seamus Timms, Pilot at Jetstar Airways (https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/careers/pilots). Seamus discovered his love for aviation at the age of 16 when he starting flying through the St Kevins College Aviation Program, through which he attained his private pilots license at the commencement of Year 12.

After graduating from high school, Seamus completed an aviation degree and was accepted into the Jetstar Cadet Pilot Program run through Swinburne University (https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/careers/cadetship-program). The course was condensed into 2 years, with the majority of time spent at Moorabin Airport. It was through this program that Seamus secured his current position at Jetstar. It’s great to chat with Seamus today to understand the diverse role of a Pilot, as well as to gain some insight into how coronavirus has currently affected his career.
