The pandemic that caused the aviation industry to come to a halt has forced Captain Megah Putra Perkasa to take a break. And of course, the income that he usually earns has now been disrupted. 

However, as a head of the family who has to support his wife and children, he is willing to switch careers from being a pilot to selling food, including chicken noodles. 

Initially, he only sold online and pre-orders once a week through Instagram or WhatsApp. And as time went by, the demand increased, until he finally decided to open an offline shop or a chicken noodle stall called Kapten Kitchen. 

He plans to continue this business that he started during the pandemic even after he returns to flying. For him, this is an investment and a job security for when he retires from the aviation industry.
