Melissa's TikTok gives her followers a glimpse of her pilot life, from the flight deck and educational pilot videos.Despite the glamorous lifestyle of a pilot, much hard work goes into flying, with the preparation needed before, during and after the trip.
"I have to arrive at work an hour before departure in order to prepare the aircraft and other important duties. Being on time is crucial in this field, and each day and flight is different. I can fly anything from two to six sectors . On some days, we come back home, and other days we layover in different destinations," she explained."It is challenging flying," she admits."Every strip is different, so lots of planning and preparation goes into those flights.
