☆________N____E____W____S_______☆ ☆ The flag-carrier seems to be taking the fight to its employees at the moment. It intends to retrench about 12 000 staff in total. It’s in conflict with its flight attendants, with plans to rationalise the contracts of many, the result of which may be that senior attendants could suffer a permanent and perhaps substantial reduction in pay. __________________________________________________ ☆ The second group under fire is the company’s 4 300 pilots. Previously BA has intended to lay off over 1 200. In the midst of the negotiation process, BA has warned that if it is unable to reach an agreement with the British Airline Pilots Association (‘BALPA’) it would dismiss all its pilots and offer individuals new contracts with new terms and conditions. __________________________________________________ ☆ The airline has said it is ‘acting now to protect as many jobs possible,’ and that ‘the airline industry is facing the deepest structural change in its history, as well as facing a severely weakened global economy.' ☆The General Secretary of the Union, Brian Strutton was furious. He said ‘This has seriously undermined our talks which now hang by a thread. It calls into question whether BA is even capable of conducting industrial relations properly and whether anything they say can be trusted.’ ___ ___ #WildAviatorsUpdates #britishairways #flightattendant #pilots #cabincrew #economiccrisis #covid19 #pandemic ##pilotsofinstagram #news https://www.instagram.com/p/CBNfV5rpap8/?igshid=1wg3zoi73uuqy

__________________________________________ ☆ A pilot drew a unique tribute to George Floyd over Canada by following a flight path in the shape of a raised fist. Dimitri Neonakis took to the Nova Scotia sky on Thursday with his personal message to Floyd. He told CNN he chose the fist because it's a symbol of the movement against racism. ________________________________________________ ☆ "We all have to speak out and we have to end it," Neonakis said. "There are no borders when it comes to racism." Neonakis mapped out the image on an app and then followed the line for the fist in his plane. He said it took him about two and a half hours at 150 miles per hour to finish the image. _________________________________________________ ☆ Neonakis said the picture is simply an expression of his feelings for his own reasons and has nothing to do with politics. "I feel the need to speak out and my way is in the air," Neonakis said. "Even though no one is going to see it, it makes me feel good... I know it's for them, the people oppressed over the years." ___ ___ #racism #georgefloyd #equality #blacklivesmatters #aircraft #dream #passion #pilot #fly #Aviators #wildaviators https://www.instagram.com/p/CBFxHFgJJ0R/?igshid=1md3ujl7mjvdn

__________________________________________ ☆ Air Malta has made 69 of its pilots redundant, the airline said in a statement, arguing that the Airline pilots' union (ALPA) "failed to cooperate." Talks between the airline and the union have been ongoing for many weeks in an attempt to find a middleground that would not result in any loss of jobs. Air Malta stated on Friday evening that talks with ALPA on measures to avoid redundancies in order to safeguard its ongoing sustainability and viability, failed. _________________________________________________ ☆ "After numerous lengthy meetings, Air Malta and the union did not reach an agreement and consequently the Airline was left with no other choice but to proceed with the redundancies of 69 of its pilots." The airline said that while the other unions representing the rest of its workforce understood the need to accept changes required to safeguard their livelihood, ALPA instead "resorted to making unreasonable demands at a time when the airline's revenue has been severely compromised due to the current Covid-19 pandemic." _________________________________________________ ☆ In a statement, the Economy Ministry said that ALPA was asking for a €73 million retirement scheme (around €700,000 for each pilot), and said that this was the reason for the lack of agreement. ___ ___ #malta #airmalta #maltose #pilotjobs #pandemic #covid19 #2020 #wildaviatorsUpdates #news https://www.instagram.com/p/CBFppljJSot/?igshid=5a6y1044ry83

_______________________________________ ☆ France's Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA), in a statement on Friday, said that "technical work" to download and decode the flight data recorder information as well as the cockpit voice recorder data from the Airbus jet that had crashed in Pakistan is complete. It said the work was carried out at the request of Pakistan's Aircraft Accident and Investigation Board (AAIB) and now analysis of the data will commence. ____________________________________________ ☆ According to the statement by BEA, the Pakistan investigation board "will publish at a later date a preliminary statement on the event based on downloaded data". It said that the Pakistan board "is leading the investigation" and the communication is "on their behalf". ____________________________________________ ☆ Ninety-nine people were aboard the ill-fated PK-8303 PIA flight when the plane crashed on May 22 in a residential area near Karachi's Jinnah International Airport, a few moments before landing. Except for two survivors, all others perished. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in a report issued on Tuesday has alleged that the PIA pilot violated landing protocol, reported The News. According to the report, the pilot disregarded air traffic control's (ATC) direction to lower the altitude. ___ ___ #PIA #PIACRASH #wildaviatorsUpdates #aircraft #Aviators #aviation #aircraft #wildaviators #pilot #plane https://www.instagram.com/p/CBFnn1IJ443/?igshid=ly2yjj2fr34l

_____________________________________ ☆ British Airways’ owner, IAG, is considering launching legal action against the UK’s planned quarantine set to start on Monday. The group’s CEO, Willie Walsh, made the comments earlier today. _____________________________________ ☆ The United Kingdom’s aviation industry is very discontent with the government’s planned 2-week quarantine set to start on Monday. Indeed, Ryanair ridiculed the idea earlier this week, saying that it would be unenforceable. Now, IAG has joined calls against the quarantine saying in a letter to MPs that the new policy would “torpedo” the airline’s planned July recovery during this unprecedented situation. _____________________________________ ☆ The 14-day quarantine would mean that all but essential travel was avoided. Most people would put off meetings and holidays if it meant 14 days stuck at home or in a hotel. This means that British carriers would be unfairly suppressed while other airlines across the world are beginning to recover. ... ... #wildaviatorsUpdates #britishairways #greatbritain #ryanair #passengers #covid19 #aircraft #airbus #boeing #pilot #fly #Aviators #wildaviators #high #promo #avgeek #new #pilotlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDgIMoptiq/?igshid=1il05h6yyj2d8

☆ Originally planes were made out of wood and cloth. These materials were super light to enable the aircraft to fly on the least amount of power. But as aspirations soared higher (pun intended), airplanes needed to be more durable as well as light. Stress forces at joints became so fierce as speed increased that a wooden plane might crumble like paper-mache. ________________________________________ ☆ To achieve the speeds needed for jet-powered flight, aircraft needed to become all-metal. Aluminum proved to have suitable characteristics. It was durable, light, and relatively inexpensive. The metal was also easier to assemble and repair, using machine tools rather than saws and axes. However, like other metals, it did suffer from hazards such as corrosion and stress-fatigue that would pop up after a few years of operation.  ________________________________________ ☆ Thus researchers developed new aluminum-based alloys like titanium-aluminum to mitigate these issues. Titanium on its own was too expensive for aircraft (although the US Air Force used it for spy planes), but mixed with the more conventional aluminum proved a useful compromise. ________________________________________ ☆ Current generation aircraft like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are built from a new type of material called composites. This material mix has many advantages, such as being lighter than aluminum, and has a simple structure that does not fatigue or corrode to elements. .... .... #wildaviatorsUpdates #aluminium #composite #aircraft #dream #passion #pilot #fly #Aviators #wildaviators #high #promo #avgeek #new #pilotlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CBB5-CAp2MJ/?igshid=16lta75t9e2nt

☆Copa Airlines undoubtedly has that sinking feeling today after one of its 737s got stuck in the mud. The Boeing 737-700 was being pushed back at San Jose International Airport in Costa Rica when a slight deviation from the intended course saw the aircraft’s landing gear sunk up to its wheel nuts in the soggy ground. _____________________________________ ☆A Copa Airlines Boeing 737-700 has been damaged today in an incident at San Jose airport in Costa Rica. The 20-year-old 737 has not flown since mid-March but was undergoing maintenance at the airport and needed to be moved. _____________________________________ ☆Registered HP-1374CMP, the Boeing 737 was apparently in the process of being pushed back from a maintenance hangar at San Jose International Airport (SJC). As it was navigating onto the runway, it had to swing rather wide to avoid colliding with a Coopesa aircraft being stored nearby. It seems the tug driver misjudged the distance required and caused the landing gear to leave the runway surface. _____________________________________ ☆With the weather in San Jose currently hot and stormy, the area has endured a few days of very heavy rain. This has typically caused the ground to become soggy, including the verge adjacent to the runway. As such, the landing gear sank deep into the mud, tipping the plane at a hair raising angle and causing the engine to make contact with the ground. .... ... #costarica #boeing737 #boeing #aircraft #dream #passion #pilot #fly #Aviators #wildaviators #high #promo #avgeek #planecrash https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBjeD4pjXc/?igshid=3r1p0l8k24k5

☆The US government says it will block Chinese airlines from flying into the US in response to what it says is a policy that has prevented US carriers from service between the two countries. The Transportation Department restrictions will take effect June 16 but could be enacted earlier if President Donald Trump decides to do so. _____________________________________ ☆It says the Chinese government is violating an agreement between the two countries for international travel by preventing United Airlines and Delta Air Lines from resuming the trans-oceanic flights. Those airlines had asked to resume service on June 1. United, Delta, and American suspended service to China due to the coronavirus pandemic. The US government also instituted travel restrictions to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. _____________________________________ ☆ The Transportation Department order said "Chinese aviation authorities have failed to permit US air carriers to" operate the routes they previously flew. "The Department will continue to engage our Chinese counterparts so both U.S. and Chinese carriers can fully exercise their bilateral rights," the department said in a statement. "In the meantime, we will allow Chinese carriers to operate the same number of scheduled passenger flights as the Chinese government allows ours." .... ... #US #china #policy #airline #covid19 #airplanes https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-xJgdpxQ-/?igshid=z4jlwgkmxlle
