British Airways pilot unions are striking. Pretty interesting stuff
Do you have plans to fly British Airways today or tomorrow? Well, I got bad news for you.
British Airways pilots have begun a two-day strike in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions.
According to the airline, almost all flights from 09 and 10 September have been cancelled. Passengers who have booked a flight for these dates are advised not to go to the airport and make an online rebooking or refund instead.

The Media’s Perception and Relation to Aviation. I mean seriously, it is a bigger thing than we think.

Good luck! If you need any tips with writing or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Also, what about the whole C-Series/Airbus A220 thing? That was a huge thing due to Bombardier dumping and the financial issues with it.

What about the little plane war, the war for regional aircraft. A real thing, as I stated above with the C-Series/A220 thing.
@Lil_Qaz
How about the pilot stereotype? Pilots are often imaged as millionaires with lady flight attendants on each arm, going to the beach, etc.
