Husband, father, airline Captain. Views my own.

@SethAbramson As a European watching from the other side of the Atlantic, it baffles me that any poll carried out using solid methodology could even be remotely close on this subject.
Do Americans realise how bad this makes them look in the eyes of the world?

Congratulations to @DublinAirport on the opening of 10L/28R. @IALPA @forsa_union_ie members look forward to safe operations each day and as part of the #LRST as we carry both passengers and cargo to and from Ireland across the world.

[Finnish Pilots Assn. @FPApilots]

BALPA leader says it well and knows pilots’ views, well formed for any airline: ”“Our members are the longest-serving stakeholders in any airline,” he says. “They rarely leave – they are just as interested in long-term profitability as the company is. ” https://t.co/2lTKFyLM1F

[European Pilots @eu_cockpit]

The Pilot in Command is ultimately responsible for the safe conduct of the flight. This means that you have the authority to refuse any course of action that, from a safety perspective, you don’t feel comfortable with. https://t.co/SG9n9hPeFD

[European Pilots @eu_cockpit]

Now that the pilot job market is picking up strength again, pilots are looking for guidance where the best jobs in the industry are, and which airlines they better avoid. Here is the #AirlinesSocialRating https://t.co/XgruGJM5CD

[European Pilots @eu_cockpit]

"If an organization has an issue with increased sickness of staff, the reasons are often as a result of the organization. Telling pilots to 'suck it up' goes against every sinew of sensible safety management over the past 20 years," says Aedrian Bekker

[Cork Airport @CorkAirport]

[Southwest Airlines Pilots Association @swapapilots]

Yesterday on CNBC, CEO Bob Jordan said “Southwest’s real constraint right now is Pilot hiring.” Bottom line: If we can’t attract Pilots with an industry-leading CBA, they will go elsewhere. Click the link to watch his interview. https://t.co/XOUTUJx08R

@FidGall Thanks Fi. Proof that you maybe can teach an old dog new tricks after all! Hope you’re well.

[Simon Carruthers @swjcarruthers]

Just as Irish aviation is starting to drag itself out of the tough times of Covid restrictions, the last thing we need is competition from others who don’t have to maintain EU employment standards.

This is a worrying development for all Irish aviation workers. Just when the recovery is under way.

This, out of #Ukraine, is 100% one of the most incredible videos I have ever seen.

Don’t bring Ireland into an argument trying to justify and unjustifiable war.
Ireland/U.K. are an example of how 2 countries, with a difficult past, found a way to shape and sustain a peace process, guaranteeing an absence of violence. @dfatirl

[Regina Doherty MEP @ReginaDo]

What is critical here is that the Minister listens and heeds the requests that any peer in a peer support programme is selected by the people they will serve- not hand picked by Airline management. If there is no trust, the peer support programs fails @IALPA @RecovAIRie
