Improve Your Knowledge with Captain Thinking

A Professional Service for Legal, Media, and Public Sector Enquiries

Provided by Commercial Airline Captains with Extensive Operational Experience

As serving airline captains with many years of frontline aviation experience, We offer independent, general aviation insight and contextual analysis for professionals working in legal, regulatory, media, or academic fields.

This service does not represent any airline or employer, and all views provided are strictly independent, non-confidential, and based on publicly available aviation principles, procedures, and training standards.

Clear, neutral explanations of aviation topics — including procedures, cockpit roles, regulatory frameworks, and pilot decision-making — presented in an accessible, fact-based way for non-specialist audiences.

Assistance with understanding industry-standard practices, human factors, and operational context for civil cases, inquests, inquiries, or journalism. We do not comment on ongoing cases involving our employers or offer opinion on specific airline incidents.

Analysis of how decisions are made in high-stakes environments, including cockpit resource management (CRM), workload, communication, and training frameworks. Useful for HR teams, public bodies, or safety investigations.

On- or off-record consultation for newsrooms, documentaries, podcasts or public discussions requiring a qualified and articulate aviation professional to explain industry norms or complex procedures.
