Relief, Part 2

It was a relief when the 14-hour flight landed in Brisbane this morning. 

Airline travel has become a ubiquitous part of ‘doing business’ in many parts of the world.  When I started working in Calgary in the early 90s, a business trip to Toronto was a “Big Deal”.

By the mid-2000s, business travel was a staple in many workers’ lives; I’ve been hopping up and down Australia’s east coast regularly and without fuss for 10 years.  And for 20 years I’ve been doing an at-least annual trip back to Calgary.

I feel for the workers in the airline industry today.
