SFA students looking back now, from a real cockpit!

Greets from in the A320-cockpit

I remember the days, as a child, traveling frequently from and to Greece by airplane and looking to those wings and dreaming of controlling the aircraft myself. So after finishing secondary school I attended the Sabena Flight Academy. With it's many years of experience as the main training facility in Brussels, it was the only solution I could think of to guide me to the correct path becoming a professional airline pilot. Shortly after finishing my ATPL training, I got hired by Aegean Airlines as a First Officer on the Airbus A320. Though I ended my training in difficult times for aviation, I used all my acquired knowledge and resources to find my way to the interviewing board. Following a sponsored type rating at the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, and an extensive three month line training, I can finally say I am starting the life I always have dreamed of!

Thanks to my flightbag full of motivation, I am happy to say I have reached cruising altitude, at last!
