Jordan Webb Martin Chalk 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. In this edition, we look at how hydrogen is being pioneered to fuel the aircraft of tomorrow, and how the long-awaited return of the Boeing 737 MAX has reshaped how we view pilot training and aircraft certification. The twists and turns of the COVID-19 crisis have undoubtedly taken their toll on our mental health. Louise Pode explores the industrys relationship with this key area, while David Keen takes a look at how second jobs have helped individuals navigate through the crisis. Despite the challenges, we hope that by the time you read this a COVID vaccine is being rolled out, clarity has been brought to UK-EU air transport rules, and attacks by both circumstances and airline managements on our profession and fellow professionals are over. Bye bye 2020 lets hope 2021 is significantly better. LIFT-OFF
