Back to the Nest. Part 2.

This is the second part of the story. The beginning is here (click to go).


May be, from the first part, you have got a question about this photo on the right?

Well, you probably know that lots of hotels have laundry and iron services. Usually these are paid services. If we will talk about business trips which happen regularly often, and an employee (a pilot in my case) usually stays at the same hotel, a good employer signs a contract with the hotel, wich includes a payment or discount for these services.

But only 10 years ago a common russian pilot could not even dream that it is possible! Often, he had to live in such conditions where a dry roof above his head was cosidered to be a good service! And nobody was dissapointed or, moreover, angry about it! It was the part of pilots' life, pilots were already happy if they had the job, the salary, and there was no need to be night taxi drivers.

As for me, I've caught these times in the beginning of my career. These were very romantic times.

Back to the Nest!

This story is about my visit to Novosibirsk which happened in the middle of May, 2015. My airline had set me a task to check some pilots from our Novosibirsk base, so I selected three Captains and planned routes to deal with this order.

Happy New Year, dear readers! Happy new challenges!

First of all I'd like to wish you all the best in the New Year! Let all your sweet dreams come true, all the challenges be achieved, and new ones (only good and interesting!) appear ahead!

As for me, I have some.

ENGLISH

I kept silence for a long time, but it was a busy period. May be you remember, that I have started this blog in attempt to train my English?

Really, it was the first reason. But why do I want to improve?
