Corporate charter pilot here!
My job and hobbies are two different things.
I relish the creativity, story writing and artwork of anthro characters. It hurts no one and supports other artists and creatives. Making furry art helped fund my flight training.
I’m also not in the Epstein files ❤️

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash
Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

Flybe, a big local employer in Exeter, went bust on a Thursday. That same Saturday, the Chiefs stopped honoring the sponsor tickets which had been given as prizes to its employees. I feel there may be a similar situation at the Emirates for Arsenal's nail biting season finale.
Lol good luck with that chief

This PR stunt has a whole 'Flybe' vibe. Send an empty jet to pick up WanK to try and show up H&M. Except this time they just sent an empty Kate to try to up stage Meghan’s Netflix series. They are so pathetic and obvious!

Eastern Airways has:
Cancelled all flights.
Stopped selling tickets.
Returned aircraft to leasing companies.
So sadly it appears the regional airline will close after 28 years, following BMI Regional and Flybe.
I am now writing an explainer on passenger rights.
