In my entire life I have never seen a flight where dozens of people are sitting on the floor.
During the entire flight, they slept on the floor wherever possible including near the cockpit, on the floor in the business class and in every corner of the plane.
On Tuesday morning I returned to #Israel from Tokyo via Bangkok. ✈️
Before boarding the plane from Bangkok to Israel, the terminal was full of young backpackers who wanted to return to Israel to the reserves.
Upon boarding, they announced that all those who still do not have a seat will wait and try to get everyone on the plane.
There were dozens of young people there who wanted to go back to enlist!
Elal Airlines took all the available seats on the plane and filled up to the last seat on the plane. I felt sorry for those who could not go up due to lack of space.
Then to my surprise, after they finished filling the plane, the El Al people took more than twenty young women and put them on the plane and put them in the crew’s folding chairs.
And after that the captain gave permission and more than ten young men to sit on the floor in the kitchens and near the doors of the plane were put on the flight.

The pictures speak for itself and illustrate a little of what was on this special flight.
During the flight I saw the captain walking around the plane making sure the crew was taking care of all these wonderful young people.
Thanks to the wonderful team of El Al pilots and flight attendants 🇮🇱 for the extraordinary gesture.
Kudos to the CEO of El Al Dina Ben Tal Ganancia for having such employees.
I have to admit that they warmed my heart (to say the least).

by Anthony Kalai (LinkedIn Posts) Is leadership accountability being respected in Papua New Guinea? Any public agency is not the birthright of any individual to hold leadership positions indefinitely. When threats of violence are made against members of legitimate boards, such as the KPHL board, this is extremely serious and must be addressed immediately by […]
My view on Australia recruiting 10,000 soldiers and giving them Australian citizenship is a very positive development for Australia and PNG. Simply because we have 30,000 young people finishing school every year and most of them are unable to find jobs.
