BEHIND THE SCENES<br />

ANDREW HOBBS<br />

CABIN SERVICES DEPUTY MANAGER<br />

One of the best things about<br />

my job are the people I work<br />

with, we are like a big family<br />

When did you join Aurigny?<br />

I joined Aurigny in July 2011<br />

What is your job role and what<br />

have you found to be the biggest<br />

challenge?<br />

I am the Cabin Services Deputy<br />

Manager for Aurigny. I assist in<br />

stock control and ordering, sorting<br />

out rostering, managing the POS<br />

system, and then helping my team<br />

with the catering and cleaning side<br />

when needs be..<br />

Have you always wanted to work<br />

in the airline industry?<br />

I always had a slight interest in<br />

aviation when I was a kid, but<br />

never considered it as a career.<br />

But once I joined the aviation<br />

industry with Aurigny I couldn’t get<br />

enough of it - I just cannot believe<br />

that I have been working for the<br />

company eight years now, time<br />

does literally fly!<br />

What do you like to do on your<br />

days off?<br />

When I joined Aurigny I developed<br />

a big passion for the aviation<br />

industry which led me to save up to<br />

learn how to fly. Back in June 2014,<br />

I managed to get my Personal<br />

Pilot's Licence within 11 months.<br />

So now, when we do have good<br />

weather, I like to take my family and<br />

friends for a great experience in a<br />

small general aviation aircraft.<br />

I also have my own boat upon<br />

which you will see me out on the<br />

water fishing, popping over to<br />

Herm or Sark.<br />

In the winter I will hibernate onto<br />

my PC and fly on my personal<br />

flight simulator on which I do live<br />

streams on Twitch.<br />

What is the best thing about<br />

your job?<br />

I think it could be everything, I<br />

believe we offer a great service to<br />

the islands and tourist community.<br />

When I get into work there is<br />

always something different that<br />

happens or something to do which<br />

makes my job interesting, but one<br />

of the best things about my job are<br />

the people I work with, we are like<br />

a big family.<br />
