About Amanda Boychuk

I started working with Westjet in April of 2023. This was a big change in my career as I have always been on the security side. I wanted to work where I could have the opportunity to move up in a company. After working with Westjet now for 10 months it would be hard to move away from inflight. The joy I have each day working with different fellow flight attendants and flight crew has been amazing. Gaining experience from now the Aviation side of things gives me a better understanding of how airport operations works from another side. I have worked at the airport in Aviation Security for 13 years. I started as a Screening officer and worked my way up to an Operations Manager role. I have learnt so much in the last 13 years. Not just about Aviation Security but about myself as well and my interests. I have 13 years of experience working and managing Screening officers and Checkpoint Managers.
