FAO TRANSATLANTIC PASSENGER AIRCRAFT CREW MEMBERS:
The Times newspaper (London) is looking to speak anonymously to crew members of transatlantic passenger aircraft, about their year since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11.
The piece we are proposing would feature in our supplement commemorating the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, and we guarantee complete anonymity for any crew member that speaks to or writes a piece for us. We can also guarantee copy approval (ie you can check it before it goes to print), so that you can be sure that you will not be personally identifiable from the text. If you don't want to write it for us we'd be happy to ghost-write it with you.
What we are looking for is a simple account of your fears, hopes and experiences of the past year; where you were and what you thought when you first heard of the attacks; how you've felt when flying and how the atmosphere has changed amongst crew and passengers. You might also wish to say what you think could still be done to guarantee safety for passengers and crew. The subject matter, though, is pretty much up to you - we just want a personal reflection.
Please do get in touch if you feel you would like to talk to us. Again, we promise complete anonymity and have no hidden agenda - the piece would stand alone as just the reflections of a crew member during this difficult year.
Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
