Mickaela Warne

Mickaela Warne quickly learned that nothing comes very easily in the demanding business of aviation. Then she connected with JetPro Pilots and its JetPro Trip service and discovered an exception to the rule.

Mickaela is a flight attendant for a Massachusetts corporation headquartered near her home in scenic southern New Hampshire. She has been flying for nearly eight years, on both commercial and cooperative crews, and says her association with JetPro has given her a unique advantage.

One of those advantages is TripTrac, JetPro’s custom-designed software that allows crew members using mobile apps to perform their duties as efficiently on the ground as they do in the air, logging required reports and expenses with simple but thorough precision. In a recent interview, Mickaela raved about the process.

“It’s by far the best system for processing expenses after trips that I’ve ever encountered’” she said. “It’s super easy. Super quick.”

As a high schooler in her native Argentina, Mickaela wanted to join the air force there, but her father, who was in law enforcement, had different plans for his daughter.  He eventually gave his blessing to her applying for an international student exchange program that landed her in New Hampshire in 2017.

She arrived knowing very little English. But with a determination to learn the language and somehow wind up in an aviation-related field, Mickaela tackled both challenges at the same time in college and soon found work. During this period, she was working other jobs to help pay for her education.

Her efforts were rewarded by a fixed-base operator at a New Hampshire airport. She spent a year there in passenger service — “always asking questions,” she recalled — then was airborne with regional carrier Republic Airways for two years.  That, in turn, led to a job as a corporate flight attendant, and she used her networking skills to connect with JetPro Pilots.

Now, Mickaela’s full-time corporate position has her based in Portsmouth, N.H., on a long-range Gulfstream craft that has introduced her to several continents. Her schedule still allows for ample time at home with her husband Matthew, a mechanical engineer.

“It has been wonderful,” she concluded of a career enhanced by her JetPro Pilots connection.  “I’ve been so fortunate to find this.”
