In this episode I’m joined by North Londoner, Rohan Wagle whose half Indian and half Maltese. He chose to do a degree in ‘human genetics’ at UCL but knew he had always wanted to be a pilot, having done some flying whilst at University. As such he decided to commit to it as a career upon graduation. Rohan joined a British based flying school in 2007, which did the basic flying phase in New Zealand, so moved there for 18 months. In 2009 he completed the remaining training back in the UK and in 2010 got his first job flying for easyJet (based in Bristol then Toulouse). Having left there 7 years ago, he’s currently flying long haul (although not much of it recently...) at British Airways, based out of heathrow.
We therefore explore his role and journey as a pilot and health (exercise, diet and sleep, and their effects on mental and physical health) given the sedentary job and the fact you’re going against your circadian rhythm. We also touch upon how the industry is changing and how climate change is a consideration in the aviation industry. I hope you’ll enjoy a slightly different episode. Please note that these are Rohan’s views and not intended to represent BA’s views or policies. Sending you love and light. Roshni ❤️🙏😊
