Chris Smith is an Australian pilot who flew with Jetstar for over 40 years. He was inspired to get into the aviation industry by his parents and a love of flying clearly runs in the family with daughter Lauren, a first officer following in her dad's footsteps. Last year she joined her father in the cock-pit for his very last flight before retiring last year.
Since then he's written a book on his life in the air and the lessons he learnt along the way - His book 'Leadership at 43000 Feet' is available to buy online.
