The Managed Decline of the U.K. Airline Industry?

I’m going to make a rather depressing prediction, pilots and aviation enthusiasts.

It comes as no surprise that when anyone has dared to mention ‘climate change’ within the confines of this forum, the self-preservationary hounds of denialism descend upon that member with such wrath, they probably never come back.

I’m afraid I am not the wilting violet you normally find in these parts.

It is my opinion that the British government quite clearly see it would be hypocritical to support the Aviation industry whilst at the same time acknowledging that we are entering into the frightening epoch of feedback cycles that are irreversible due to rising global temperatures. I see many pilots moaning about this lack of state help, yet no one here seems to make the link. Instead they put it down as incompetence. It isn’t.

We work in an industry that contributes to the problem we all face. The potential decimation of our planet’s ecosystem.

I think we all should face up to this.

The climate crisis is real. It is here. We are part of the problem.
