From 2012 to 2021, I worked w/remarkable #campaigners 2secure an #European @Standards4EU 2deliver cleaner & less toxic air 4 #Aircrew & #Passengers

In that period, we suffered derision, insult & indifference, but still we battled 2. #Travel #Holidays #CabinAirQuality #Aerotoxic

My colleagues need to be recognised:

#Dogma!

I've had some very clear views since the beginning of the year on the challenges facing Travel and the difficulties ahead. I've taken a cautionary approach based on research

theguardian.com/politics/2012/… 2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? #Brexit?

#Dogma!

I also happen to believe that if @GOVUK & #TravelIndustry go into a huddle with each other, on issues that directly affect #Consumers, then we should read/hear what they have discussed & have decided

1. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19?

So, the finger-jabbing continues

Meantime, I've spoken to #Consumers abt positive experiences @STN_Airport - plenty of staff & well org they tell me, so why is it so different elsewhere?

Then there's other issues....

theguardian.com/world/2022/jun… 2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19?

We hear of the remarkable pleading to allow foreign workers to come in under special visas which was refused; a free-movement #Brexit issue; an own goal!

But clearly the discussion has been going on for months

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC

Thnx 4opp 2talk abt current #Airport #Airline #Travel chaos; not just UK prob; it extends across #Europe

Many reasons & blame abound but the return to normality was always going 2B problematic.

#Brexit transferred 261/2004 Rights; @CAA_UK should enforce! 2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? @LBC

Key Q: @GOVUK claim they'd warned #TravelIndustry, concerned that they: "Seriously oversold flights & holidays relative to their capacity".

@grantshapps publish meetings, minutes & warnings; let's see the detail!......

#InternationalWomensDay2022

I've a number of tributes to pay on this important day.

The first must obviously go to the women of #Ukraine

This picture demonstrates their suffering & their personal courage

I stand with them in #Solidarity

Photo from the front page @thetimes #InternationalWomensDay2022

It's a strange start to this tribute, but today is the 21st anniversary of my Dad's death. His life and of his Mother, Mary Breheny, is couched in real courage through #MotherAndBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries

#Justice is coming!

Over the years I have tweeted about various aspects about how we travel and its affect on the #environment and the world around us. Through those years I've become more conscious of the travel decisions I make and it hasn't... Image 2. #Travel #Holidays #ClimateChange #Sustainability

1. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19?

During this #COVID I am going to create a rolling thread about key issues and articles of interest, just so as you can see the evolution toward a return to normality in 2022, 2023, 2024 or 2025; according to predictions by #Aviation! 2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19?

Interesting article about #staycations and their price!!

The attitude of some UK h/makers, is I'm afraid, a common feature found in holidays abroad. I've heard many a tale about the Master vs Serf behaviour of some Brits! independent.co.uk/voices/holiday…

I think that I have just experienced something which I suspect many have already.

In simple terms, people hiding the fact that they have been exposed to those with confirmed #Coronavirus and have been ill themselves... 2. #COVID19 #Vaccinations #AntiVax #Morality

...offering that they have tested negative. But, you then discover they're refusing to receive the #vaccine!

In other words, they wish to express their "libertarian" selves, but your views are secondary..

For many years I have been commenting abt the air we breathe on #aircraft and have been and continue to be politically active on this very important issue for #Passengers & #Aircrew. Image 2. #Travel #Holidays #CabinAirQuality #Flights

This continuous thread will be added to as & when I discover new issues that #Consumers should be aware of. At this stage I will simply point you to my new book: Gaspers; a potential source of information! amazon.co.uk/Gaspers-passen…
