“Before Vista America, I was flying at a regional airline, but I wanted something different. Private aviation is different – you’re on the front line speaking with the clients and making people smile. That’s how I judge if I have had a good rotation. Did the passenger smile a lot? If they did, I know they had a good time and I did my job well. It’s rewarding to see your hard work pay off.”
