FDP’s. Fly 2 night flights to/from Lagos in succession. But of course, no time zone change means you’re perfectly rested to fly the next day. Makes total sense.

Thank you BALPA for waiting 3 years to try and extract value from Big Airways. It made perfect economic sense to wait until 100’s of desperate expat pilots were keen to displace your members, before offering an insulting pay rise. Nice spreadsheet ya bellends

Twitter’s chem-trail loonies are akin to a Medieval mob burning witches. Speaking as a commercial pilot, the fact that a section of society is becoming more and more vocal about this ridiculous theory, is deeply worrying. We use to ridicule these people. They are beyond that now

Read the comments beneath this tweet. Witch-burning making a come-back 🤔

@azeb_khattak @InTheMoneyAdam @Oilfield_Rando Adam and Azeb are so clever

@InTheMoneyAdam @Oilfield_Rando Probably the pilot errored in judging, knowing that he had low altitude, should have selected glided crash landing instead of pulling up and reaching the stall.

Alright plane expert twitter, what happened?

2. Who are ‘they’? 3. How do ‘they’ make it ‘cloudy’? I ask as a pilot who knows fundamentally that chemtrail ‘theories’ are what I like to call…bollocks. And who also knows a fair bit about meteorology too. So please provide decent sources to explain your beliefs.

Conspiracy Corner has a new hot topic. I have questions. Lots of questions. First Q: to establish why you think that I’m thick for believing the shift in the Atlantic jet stream (probably caused by El Niño) has led to persistent wet weather in 2024 for the British Isles.

I don't fly by plane, so I hadn't really been paying much attention to air on planes, but I just had one of those "wait a second, how does ventilation work on a jet airplane" moments wondering why the CO2 doesn't just keep rising during flight, so I did a quick search...

To the thousands of people who commented about how hard it was to stay up until the morning after the ELECTION. Try it 10 times a month until retirement. #pilotlife #longhaul

*This did not happen: He was AMAZING as a donkey and got a BAFTA^ ^He did not get a BAFTA. That is just silly

Gareth Southgate is pretty much modelling his coaching style on how I reacted to my children’s Nativity plays. The expectation was high but even though my son forgot most of his lines and wee’d himself in front of 100 parents*, I made sure he didn’t feel too bad about it*

5 days to go. Remember when senior Conservatives showed they don't understand anything about trade

How many pilots does it take to change a lightbulb? 2 One to ask a series of open questions about the options of how to do it, and the other to know the specific rules on lightbulbs because they’ve actually read the 17 lightbulb updates on their iPad in the last 5 years

Congratulations to all the Easy Jet pilots for your recent @BALPApilots negotiated pay rise of 17% and RPI+ for the following years. Sharing in the success of your great company is great to hear. You lead by example 🤜🏼🤛🏼

@mkeepy I see Europe to Japan flights still routing East through the corridor over Georgia. The Japan to Europe flights going east bound I grant you but doing that in reverse against prevailing westerlies is not going to work.

@Intrstng Check flight radar

No-one pointing out right now that if political turmoil in Georgia results in their air space closure to (let’s call them)…’allies of Ukraine’, then getting from/to the Far East to/from Europe will be close to impossible via direct flight? Iran shut Russia shut Shrinking world

#Seatbelts !!

@mkeepy West from Europe to Japan also?

@Intrstng Japan being going the other way around since it began

@BGatesIsaPyscho I spoke to a concerned citizen and pulled his leg so hard it came away in my hands

Do Chemtrails exist? “Airplane turned up, nothing was coming out, it then turned round & it was if it switched something on” “I spoke to a pilot & asked him - he said they’re chemtrails - what are they? Pilot said don’t ask” The fact we can talk about it freely now is a start
