COP20

Does anyone else find the arrival of hundreds of private jets into GLA, EDI and PIK for COP26 a sickening hypocrisy?

I regret being in this sector. Knowing what we know now, the widespread growth in the use of larger jets for the extremes of the leisure life of multi-millionaires - who largely try to avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden, is really sad.

It's like having $300 Bn and feeling the need to burn large sums on inventing space tourism whilst hastening global warming.

Obviously a lot of aviation is good, but for it to be sustainable surely we have to optimise it's use whilst we bring on the new technology?

Maybe it's just me. Or should I join the ostriches and not think of our grandchildren's future inheritance?
