March 2012. I leave my hometown to fulfill my dream of becoming a pilot and maybe one day come back home. Today, 12 years and 7 jobs later I brought the first aircraft of our newly opened base. Doing what you love while being with your loved ones. That’s the whole point 🏡👨‍✈️✈️

10 years ago we met as cabin crew in Mallorca. Today I heard her voice on the radio and had to ask, it was her. We landed right after each other, in the other part of Europe, working for another airline, 10 years after. She’s a captain now, a good friend, and she made my day 🤩

Today marks one year since my last flight. And for many of my colleagues it was their last flight, ever. The airline collapsed and dragged down with it a great crew with a ton of experience, ending some of their careers for good. A legacy carrier that belonged to another era. 👇
