The "apples and pears" comparison of safety with today's levels is wrong - the question is why having a second pilot on the flight deck is LESS safe? Until this can be shown, removing redundancy for the best safety feature is otherwise profit ahead of safety.
"This is your pilot speaking. I'm alone on the flight deck."
Pilots' unions hit out at research into one pilot leaving the cockpit to rest during the cruise phase of a long flight.
EU Aviation Safety Agency says it would only happen if safety is unaffected

So, so proud! The determination, the talent - but most of all, the work you have put in. Couldn't be happier for you, 😊
I am in complete disbelief but immensely proud to say I have accepted pupillage with my dream chambers.
If this year was not your year, sending all my support - I know the crushing feeling from last year. My DMs are open if you want to talk to someone.

Is this the same Rwanda that the British Tory Government has declared absolutely safe? @DSimmonds_RNP @FDAGenSec

@SjoAirport Thank you for a great experience! We don't understand the @skytrax_uk 3* as great facilities, very short queues and friendly (CR) staff make you 5* in our eyes! @HeathrowAirport @flyLAXairport @SimonCalder

@MerseyFire please could you explain why you offered this advice which runs contrary to the evidence? We don't need factually inaccurate advice dissuading drivers from buying EVs

@MerseyFire I notice you are active again - please would you clarify your position on EV fire risk?

@HMRCcustomers I have spent 20 minutes waiting on the phone, tried your online chat - the bot can't help and there are no advisers available; is there a sensible way to secure message or contact a tax adviser about a tax code error made by HMRC?

@HMRCcustomers Do you have an email address or secure message system to avoid 40 mins waiting on a phone line?

@easeeofficial Please answer your customer support queries! I have been waiting for more than 3 days without any response - faulty charger, need your help and you are silent!

Pilots are the last line of defence against aircraft accidents. We are much more than a reactive profession - we proactively define mitigations and protections every day we work. That cannot be diluted without diluting passenger safety. #SafetyStartsWith2
Unintended consequences are the real threat! Humans are great at handling the unpredictable - technology is best when the circumstances are known.

Moving in the right direction. What's missing from this article is the energy has to be "inserted", i.e. abundant renewable electricity. This is currently not available, but when it is, this may be an answer to many questions.

It is not acceptable in rugby to fail to recognise your visitor. Poor show Wales. WRU is a mess. Where is the George Cross? #WALvENG

Thoughts with victims and loved ones. BALPA, along with every other professional part of the aviation industry, offers support for an ICAO annex 13 compliant investigation - and condemn speculation. Whether well-meaning or attention seeking - it doesn't help.

@CharlotteV, great to see your passion at #airlines2022, to hear you commit to work with the whole industry to restore UK Civil Aviation to again be world leading. Working together, the aviation industry has proved it can solve apparently impossible problems.
Yesterday I spoke about the big issues facing the aviation sector at the @airlines_UK annual conference
From our #JetZero decarbonisation strategy to the #GenerationAviation skills campaign, I will work with the sector as Aviation Minister to help it achieve its goals.
#airlines2022 Richard Moriarty @UK_CAA Chief Exec "Aviation is very good at solving problems when it works together". This was proven through C19 - we should not forget it! @BALPApilots believes this to our core!
