Lot's mentioned on the growth and expansion of aviation in Africa, and the resilient African airlines.

British Airways said goodbye to their "Queen of the Skies", as they retired their last two 747-400's.

Our tip for the week, you have to check out "My Octopus Teacher" by Craig Foster - a South African production available on Netflix. It is absolutely incredible, one of the most creative pieces of film production I have ever witnessed.

A huge Thank you to all our supporters & subscribers, we look forward to bringing you more great content next week! We will also be presenting a midweek show with Arpad Szakal where we will touch on transferrable skills again but this time with more focus on cabin crew.

In todays show, the importance of LinkedIn for professional networking. Another tough week if not the toughest yet for the aviation sector with massive layoffs at the big carriers in the United States. Europe battles with a second wave of quarantine restrictions and the African skies still as sparse as they have been for the past five months and still little to no indication as too when borders will open up.

This midweek bonus episode focuses on pilots transferrable skills, aviation workforce trends and the emotional rollercoaster of being an airline pilot during the Covid pandemic. Arpad Szakal is an expert in the engineering infrastructure and manufacturing sectors as well as aerospace and defence. A lawyer by trade and a leading voice in career management topics. Arpad was involved in this sector prior to the pandemic and therefore offers an holistic overview of the current situation we find ourselves in. Portfolio careers, pivoting your existing skill set and managing the emotional rollercoaster of a job search, Arpad offers valuable advice.
