\u2018Nana Pam\u2019 is flying high at the age of 73 and has become one of Britain\u2019s oldest cabin crew members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was on an easyJet<\/strong> flight to Madrid 20 years ago that former hairdresser Pam Clark picked up a recruitment advertisement and was inspired to make her childhood dream come true \u2013 at the age of 53.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grandmother, soon to become a great-grandmother, but known as \u2018Nana Pam\u2019 to her regular passengers, is now flying the flag for over 45\u2019s to take advantage of easyJet\u2019s drive to recruit career changers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 20 years of loyal service, Pam has welcomed an estimated 800,000 passengers on board 4,500 flights and as she turns 73 this week she is easyJet\u2019s oldest employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those taken under her wing have been premiership footballers, TV stars, and a precious trombone needing its own seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Pam showed up for her first day of training, despite her initial fears that she would stand out among younger colleagues, she found herself welcomed into a team from all walks of life and her exceptional customer service and people skills, saw her thrive in what turned out to be her longest career of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam is now helping easyJet to encourage other over 45s to follow their dreams just as she did, in her newly appointed role as a recruitment ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new initiative from the airline builds on its successes over the past year in its commitment to diverse recruitment, as since the launch of the recruitment campaign last year have seen a 10% increase in crew members over 45 applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research by easyJet in 2022 found that 78% of parents, aged 45 and over, wanted to take on a new challenge once their children fly the nest. Over half (57%) of the 2,000 British adults aged over 45 who were surveyed, said they hoped to find a career they were truly passionate about now their children were not dependent on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said \u201cMy advice to anyone over the age of 45 thinking about applying for a role as cabin crew at easyJet would be to go for it. When I applied for the role 20 years ago I knew that my age and experience meant I had something really valuable to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNowadays, I\u2019m meeting more and more colleagues like me who have made a brave career change later in life. Don\u2019t be afraid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018At easyJet we put people at the heart of everything we do. We\u2019re incredibly proud to have Pam on our team and she is a testament to our warm and welcoming cabin crew, who have a passion for great customer service”, Jane Storm, Group People Director at easyJet said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
