Empathy

What astounds me when I read some posts is the total lack of empathy towards a fellow human.

The posters (you all know who I mean) who either look at a person struggling and think “ha, it serves you right” or look at someone with a better deal than themselves and think “that’s not fair, what about me?” are truly the most awful of people.

I am a military pilot but there is not a single cell in my body that doesn’t feel the pain of all those people I know in the airline industry (whatever their field) who are facing such life changing uncertainty.

To sneer at the people who are feeling such pain is unforgivable but especially when those feelings are clearly borne out of simple envy.

If you think those thoughts why must you feel the need to verbalise them?

I’ve said this many times but all my colleagues and acquaintances have my utmost sympathy and I hope the whole mess is sorted soon.

As a regular user of your services I’ll do my bit as soon as I am able by buying tickets again.
