Timothy Russell’s Post

You cannot be “anything you want to be.” There are so many posts on this platform alone encouraging people that they can be anything they want/choose to be when the reality is so different! If that were the case, every young aspiring footballer would end up playing in the Premier League and anyone could join the Royal Marines should they so desire, irrespective of whether they meet the physical standards required. So many people aspire to be airline pilots, I did myself when I was younger but didn’t make it because when I sat the tests I didn’t meet the aptitude standards. Of course, if you have a spare £100k you CAN meet all the requirements but who has that sort of money? I have just finished reading this book and found it brilliantly insightful. Miller muses that “the truth is we were all created with an indelible, highly personal pattern of innate giftedness and motivation,” (he calls it your Motivated Abilities Pattern, or MAP, and it’s nothing learned). It’s something you were born with, the things that make you tick and determine your successes and failures and I found it both fascinating and resonating. Those with a strong resilience will adapt and thrive through life’s challenges and failures, those who are less resilient will struggle, especially if they cling onto the premise that they can be whatever they want to be…… So, what are your thoughts? Do you agree that we can't be anything we want to be, or do you think anything is possible with enough determination and effort? Let's discuss in the comments. #changethenarrative #bereal #honesty #resilience

It's not where you start it where you finish

🚢What benefits do you see from cruise ships using shore power? ⚓The Port of Seattle has mandated that all homeported cruise vessels use shore power by 2027, advancing the previous goal by three years. This requirement, passed by the Port of Seattle Commission, affects major cruise lines like Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean, which operate extensively from Seattle. 👉To Know More Visit https://lnkd.in/gk2kXKkW #CruiseShip #Cruise #SeattlePort #CruiseLines #Seattle #MarineNews #ShippingNews #MaritimeNews #Shipping #Maritime #MarineInsight #Merchantnavy #Merchantmarine #MerchantnavyShips

Did you know that the first African-American flight attendant in the United States was Ruth Carol Taylor? She was hired by Mohawk Airlines in 1958! She played a significant role in breaking racial barriers in the airline industry.

The success of Advanced Air Mobility will very much depend on getting Vertiports located at places people need/want to go. Any friction points that result in delays or inconvenience reduces the benefits. For short trips from most major cities to their airports the time saving may not be that great once you factor in getting to and from a vertiport at either end. The “last mile” issue could make or break this. For example at Melbourne Airport you currently need to land at a helipad outside the terminal precinct and then uber to the terminal, negating many of the benefits of an electric air taxi. Cities and airports aspiring to be leaders in this industry need to look closely at this design which incorporates a vertiport outside the main airport activity but close enough to walk directly into the terminal (in this case adjacent to a carpark on the terminal roof). Nice to see the Archer fleet in the vertiport Nikhil Goel !

Unintentionally, my entire professional journey has revolved around the maritime sector. Many of you may be familiar with my background as a vessel operator, bunker purchaser, and charterer. However, all my other roles have also maintained a connection to the shipping and maritime domain. Prior to becoming a maritime recruiter, I dedicated two years to building luxury carbon fibre yachts in Italy and Slovenia as a boat builder. Even in my early days while studying, I started off in the kitchen of the Royal Yacht Squadron, where my passion for cooking also took hold. I think its safe to say, that I am now in the industry for life. Have you ever envisioned yourself entering this field, and what steps can we take to inspire the next generation to join us?

Why It Matters:

Talk about it!!!!

There have been no changes or improvements made to commercial aircraft accessibility for the mobility disabled since that photo was taken. Most in the disabled community are keenly awaiting news from Delta’s subsidiary Delta Flight Products about what is happening to the wheelchair space seating system it is helping develop? Is there any news ? Will Delta work with Boeing and Airbus on its implementation as per https://chng.it/XLVWt2Ls5y ? #aviation #aircraft #airlines #AccessiblityMatters #WheelchairSpotsOnAirplanes #AccessibleTravel #Wheelchair #Disabled #DisabledTravel #Accessible #Disability #WheelchairLife #Travel #Traveling #Aviation #Airplane #Airplanes #Transport #AirTravel #Wheelchairs #Transportation #AccessibleTourism
