🇷🇺✈️ Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day! In aviation, a defender is not always in uniform. It’s the pilot who protects passengers. The captain who defends safety standards. The crew who stands for professionalism — even under pressure. Clear skies, strong decisions, and safe flights to all who protect and defend. Mind the difference here: ✈️ To protect — to keep safe before danger appears. Pilots protect passengers by following procedures. ✈️ To defend — to act when there is a threat or challenge. Captains defend safety when standards are at risk. @EPTAEnglish
