The long-awaited series finale of 2020 is fast approaching and, with no clear conclusion in sight, will we be left satisfied with a heart-warming finish after this tumultuous rollercoaster ride, or will we be left on the largest, most daunting cliff edge, eagerly awaiting the sequel in 2021 ? Since our last edition, little has changed in the face of the global pandemic. If anything, the impact On the aviation industry has only been compounded, more and more of our friends and colleagues face uncertainty and we trundle our way into the ever difficult off-season winter period. But change is afoot. As the industry is dragged backwards, we continue to look forwards.

Louise Pode explores the industry's relationship with this key area, while David Keen takes a look at how second jobs have helped individuals navigate through the crisis.
