First Air’s commitment to training and development, through our Sivurariaqnik program, has resulted in several new members joining our team.


Todd Ryan, one of our most recent hires, was welcomed as a First Air Flight Attendant in early January. Todd was one of 14 graduates who successfully completed the Airline Foundations course that took place in Iqaluit in July 2011.


Todd’s keen interest in aviation and commitment to learning made him an ideal Flight Attendant candidate. Following the Airline Foundations course, Todd completed the Flight Attendant Prequalification on-line course, which is a First Air mandated self-study course developed by the Inflight Institute. Todd received support from First Air mentors, who encouraged him to pursue his career goal.


From January 9 to 27, Todd joined four other trainees at First Air’s Flight Attendant Initial Training Program in Ottawa. This Program is an intensive three week course where students learn: indus- try regulations, crew communications, security policies and procedures, standard safety proce- dures, evacuation procedures, emergency equipment onboard aircraft, live fire fighting, danger- ous goods, special passenger briefings, customer service and aircraft specifics, and much more. In addition to classroom study, students participate in practical drills and exercises, and complete six exams during the program followed by a final exam which requires a passing grade of 90%.


Following the Initial Training Program, Flight Attendant trainees must complete their Line Indoctrination as the final phase of training. Line Indoctrination is on the job testing by a quali- fied Flight Attendant to ensure the trainee is performing duties as required. Todd successfully completed the Initial Training Program and both ATR and B737 Line Indoctrinations, which prepared him for his first shift as a qualified Flight Attendant.


Today, Todd is working the ATR 42 and ATR 72 in the Baffin region and is enjoying his new career. “One of the most interesting things so far is seeing all the different communities and different places we fly to,” said Todd. “I like being a flight attendant and seeing my passengers happy and smiling at the end of the flight – that makes me feel good. I also love flying and hope to become a Pilot some day.”


We value training, personal development and encourage career advancement within First Air. If you share our commitment to safety and service, we encourage you to join our team. To learn more about employment opportunities within First Air visit firstair.ca/employment or sivurariaqnik.ca.
