I once booked a flight touted as “eco-friendly,” seduced by the promise of a greener tomorrow. Picture this: me, an engineer who should know better, paying extra for what was essentially a sticker slapped on the same old gas-guzzler of a plane. The irony wasn’t lost on me as I sat there, contemplating the carbon …
I once thought organizing pilot schedules was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Turns out, it’s more like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube while blindfolded, underwater, and with one hand tied behind my back.
