British Airways: Speedbird-Z
Jan 2021 - Feb 2021
I've always had an interest in aviation, and I had always hoped to be able to complete some
work experience related to the aviation sector.
However, due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that arose in 2019 and shaped our lives so
differently, my work experience opportunity with British Airways was dropped.
British Airways introduced their online equivalent of the physical experience, launching
their website: Speedbird-Z.
I took the opportunity to complete their carefully constructed modules and watch a selection
of webinars based on the following:
- Insight into British Airways: an introduction to British Airways' history, career opportunities and information about their customer service
- Application Advice: details about making a good CV, interviews and other job application advice
- Confidence and Wellbeing: information about wellbeing, resilience and other stressful aspects of employment.

Taking part in this opportunity has ignited the fire within to become a politician in the

the future.

getting into the sector.
