Bruce Dickinson

Iron Maiden's singer became a professional airline pilot and worked for Astraeus, later taking on aviation business ventures. His experience went well beyond flying the band on tour: airline operations and pilot training formed part of a separate working life. The aviation interviews are the most useful entry point because they discuss qualifications, management and the practical demands of the job. Dickinson's story shows a highly visible performer accepting another profession's technical discipline and responsibility, even while the musical career continued.
