Within a few months, he’ll be a first officer – following in his mentor’s flight path. Like many pilots, it took just one flight to inspire a career. Lawrence Pavlinovic, then a Horizon Air captain and now an Alaska captain, was the glider flight instructor that auspicious day. He saw Pyle’s passion for flight immediately and took him under his wing – inviting him to Aviation Day, an annual event [...]

Source: SWISS Despite sizeable setbacks caused by the Omicron coronavirus variant in the first few weeks of 2022, SWISS was able to substantially improve its operating result year-on-year for the seasonally traditionally weak first quarter. The operating loss for the period was reduced by more than 75 per cent to CHF – 47.4 million, while total revenue was more than doubled to CHF 712.0 million.
