The last 12 months have been tough for those working in the aviation industry, many of whom have had their incomes turned off for the first time in their lives.

In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Adam Thorn speaks to MGD Wealth's Richard Marsden and Alec Berry to find out the stories they're hearing from their clients first-hand.

The pair discuss what options are available to those affected, the pros and cons of taking early retirement and why workers should take a long-term view of their finances.

Finally, the team chat about the future as borders begin to open and the industry starts to return to normality.
