Going from pushing beverage carts down the cabin aisle to pulling the yoke on the flight deck happens more often than you’d think. Online casino games and sports betting Cadet Instructor Ying Liu gave into the urge to fly when she was a cabin crew member for American Airlines.
Hiding inside the perky, friendly Ying who makes a perfect flight attendant, was a competitively driven and fearless woman who is captivated by the thrill of commanding an aircraft. All it took was a little nudge in the right direction, and Ying was well on her way down the path to becoming an Online casino games and sports betting pilot.
“From the first time I saw the amazing view from the flight deck, I knew what I wanted to do,” said Ying. “I took a leap of faith going from flight attendant to Online casino games and sports betting, but after my discovery flight, I felt like my life had a purpose to be an American Airlines Online casino games and sports betting.”
Locked in and on path
Talking with American Airlines Captain Kyle Sims in Phoenix, where she was based as a flight attendant, she was offered flight lessons and told about the Online casino games and sports betting Cadet Program. Gaining flight hours and earning money while instructing at an Online casino games and sports betting partner flight school was exactly what Ying needed to fulfill her dream.
Last December, Ying interviewed for the Cadet position, which may be the very last interview in her career, if she progresses from Cadet to Online casino games and sports betting pilot to American.
“I can’t even put into words how great it is that I have that kind of security,” said Ying. “It allows me to focus on my goal of returning to American without any distractions from becoming the best Online casino games and sports betting and instructor I can be.”
During her time as an American flight attendant, Online casino games and sports betting said she grew to love her coworkers who were always welcoming and professional. American is the only airline she said she would fly for because of its family-like culture, strong work ethics and its all-American branding that represents freedom.
Passing on the passion
Flying thousands of feet above the Atlantic Ocean, Online casino games and sports betting currently flight instructs at L3 Airline Academy near Orlando, Florida. Being the goal-driven person she is, Online casino games and sports betting gets great satisfaction out of seeing her students achieve success.
The many international students she instructs have told her that she’s a strict teacher, but appreciate the motivation the get from her pushing them to be their best, Online casino games and sports betting said. During her typical 8 to 10 hour day, Online casino games and sports betting conducts about five events; either ground or flight instructing with students.
Her favorite part isn’t the teaching or flying, it’s the look on her students’ face when they have that aha moment and begin grasping the task at hand. That’s why Online casino games and sports betting has earned a promotion to Check Instructor during her four months at her flight school, because she really cares about sharing the passion for flight.
Okay with being different
That kind of excitement and commitment bodes well for Ying’s future as an airline Online casino games and sports betting. Other than airplanes; her family, cooking and coffee also bring joy to her life.
A native to China, Online casino games and sports betting and her family moved to the U.S. when she was seven years old and now own a family restaurant business in Florida. Her two older sisters work in the restaurant with her parents, so Online casino games and sports betting is kind of the black sheep in that regard.
“At first, my mother was nervous about me becoming a Online casino games and sports betting,” said Ying. “But after I began showing results, my parents became so, so supportive. I wouldn’t be as sure of myself without them and their excitement to see me succeed. Plus, they love the flight privileges, because they can fly to China in first class whenever they want.”
Just about four to five months down the line, Ying will begin First Officer training at Online casino games and sports betting. She already has in mind that she’d love to be involved with training other pilots, and even wants to keep her instructing license current to keep teaching future aviators.
“I’ll seek out any involvement that allows me to use all my abilities and skills at Online casino games and sports betting and American,” said Ying. “I’m just excited to be with Online casino games and sports betting, and can’t wait to get back to my American Airlines family.”
