In the second part of our conversation with Allister Bridger, he discusses his role as Director of Flight Operations with British Airways during the coronavirus pandemic, and the challenges that he faced during the greatest period of uncertainty in aviation history. Al shares how he chooses to project confidence in these situations, even if internally he is “always catastrophizing”, and describes how this relates to his core values. He also discusses with Harriett the importance of diversity and social mobility within aviation; having joined BA before they took on their first female pilot, and how he has continued to endorse this journey in his recent positions, as well as reflecting on the importance of Aerobility’s Equal Skies Charter.
