TREVISO. Pilots and hostesses for a day. The children of the Christ the King nursery school in Selvana today, June 29, spent a morning in the clouds, learning some secrets of those who spend many hours a week in heaven.
The EasyJet airline brought the pilot commander Andrea Carmagnola, two hostesses and a steward to the Selvana kindergarten. The children found themselves immersed in a cockpit depicted on the wall of their school and learned what a joystick is for, how to start an engine, what the take-off lever is.
And also some basic concepts of aerodynamics, which, however, did not take away the magic from the “mystery” of flight. Many children who, answering the commander’s questions, got on an airplane. Fear? Not even the shadow.
And then here is that perhaps some pilot of the future was born among the children of Cristo Re.
After a very difficult year and a half, spent on the ground – except for a brief summer break – for the EasyJet flight crew the appointment at the kindergarten also represented a sort of change of course, a restart point to look to the future with more confidence.
“I think it will take a couple of years before air traffic returns to 100%”, said Carmagnola, “but in these weeks of resumption of flights we have already seen a great desire to travel”.
