  • Fantasy Flight 1225 Holiday Magic for Local Children
    How 230 elves are providing Fantasy Flight 1225 holiday magic for local children by Blythe Thimsen photos by Zoom Photography HE SOUND OF JINGLING bells, peals of laughter and the wafting strains of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer nearly drown out the gate agent whose voice comesT over the intercom system. “We are now boarding Alaska Airlines Flight 1225 with service to the North Pole,” she says. “Please have your boarding pass out and ready. We will begin by boarding rows 25 to 31, at gate A1.” A sudden silence fills the concourse, followed by an eruption of cheers as passengers run for the gate, with glitter flying through the air and several passengers doing cartwheels. Not your average boarding scene? Well, this is not your average flight. Welcome aboard the Spokane Fantasy Flight to the North Pole. For 14 years, Spokane Fantasy Flight, a 501(c)3 non-profit, has provided underprivileged children in Spokane, Washington, a North Pole experience to meet Santa Claus. Four years ago, it upped the ante by partnering with Alaska Airlines, which took the experience to the skies with a live flight. The goal is to give children who have challenged lives the chance to dream and believe during the holiday season. “We want them to enjoy their time and to wonder about the amazing possibilities of their lives in this world, not to worry about them,” says Steve Paul, CEO and President of Northwest North Pole Adventures, which handles the administrative responsibilities, which are too much for Santa’s busy elves. Throughout the year, Paul works very closely with Chief Elf Bernie, the head elf who is in charge of the entire event.

    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • This Is the Us Master Pilot Scablist the Unionist's Edition
    THIS IS THE US MASTER PILOT SCABLIST THE UNIONIST’S EDITION A SCAB is A Person Who is Doing What You’d be Doing if You Weren’t on Strike. A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession, often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers. ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET! Below are brief notes about legal strikes by organized pilots. 1. Century Airlines 1932: Pilots struck to resist wage reduction by E.L Cord, the patron saint of Frank Lorenzo. 2. TWA 1946: Pilots struck over pay on faster 4 engine aircraft, limited by the provisions of Decision 83. 3. National Airlines 1948: Strike over aircraft safety and repeated violations of the labor contract. 4. Western Airlines 1958: Qualifications of the Flight Engineer.
