Title: Save UK Aviation Petition
Post by: Not Now Kato on December 01, 2020, 10:07:08 am
My eldest Son works in the aviation industry and has asked me to sign the following petition, which I have.  Given the gravity of the situation facing the UK aviation industry from both the current impacts of CV19 and the potential future impacts of Brexit the more people who sign it the more pressure will be put on the Government to support this major industry.
 
To this end I would be grateful to anyone here who would be kind enough to also sign it.
 
Many Thanks in advance.

Signed, I also work in the industry and it's carnage at the minute yet is viable and really integral to any future growth.
Worked at Donny from it's opening untill Xmas 16 now at Newquay airport and if that shuts it's back to the 18th century for Cornwall. Do any of you want to fly at a remotely affordable price? Sign the above please

My grandson got a job at Donny airport at the beginning of the year. Poor lad gave his notice and left his previous job and was waiting for an official start date that he never received because of the lockdown. Then, the job was cancelled, and as he was in between jobs he didn't qualify for furloughing.

That's really rotten luck BB.
Hope things improve for him.
