Ever wondered how pilot unions across Europe coordinate their messaging? We got a front-row seat at the @eu_cockpit communications workshop.
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to present the work BALPA is doing to try to fix how pilot training is funded in the UK

Summer is here! That means more flights, more heavily rostered schedules, more fatigue.
That's why we've built our fatigue app: collecting real data from pilots to shape the future of flight time limitations.
Download your fatigue app today and log your fatigue.
