Almost all German pilots admit to napping during flights in union survey – Pilots’ union says the issue has become a ‘worrying reality’ as a result of staff shortages and operation pressure.
To come to Berlin, I mean.
Finns are the happiest people on Earth, I’m told. Germans, well, aren’t. And Berliners erst recht nicht (certainly not).
Traveling from Berlin to Helsinki — without using a plane. Flying is a major CO2 emitter when traveling. But how feasible are alternative modes of transportation?
The climate scientist who faces getting fired for refusing to fly back to Germany from the Solomon Islands.
Dr Gianluca Grimalda told by Kiel Institute for World Economy he must be at his desk on Monday after finishing fieldwork – A climate researcher has been threatened with the sack by his employer after refusing to fly back to Germany at short notice after finishing fieldwork in the Solomon Islands archipelago.
On Friday Dr Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental campaigner who refuses to fly on principle, was told by his employer, Germany’s Kiel Institute for World Economy, that if he was not at his desk on Monday he would no longer have a job to return to.
Instead this week he was still waiting in Buka Town, Bougainville, to embark on a cargo ship to begin his journey back to Europe, after six months studying the impact of climate change and globalisation on communities in Papua New Guinea.

When Germans stop flying off on vacation, it’s all over. The number of German passengers fleeing the country (mostly for vacation) sank a record 9.3 percent during the first quarter of this year.
Records show that the biggest drop in bookings was seen with those flights to the United States, this down nearly 18 percent, meaning some 1.9 million less German visitors than in the first three months of 2008.
