马机长简介：

为了让更多航空爱好者们找到志同道合的部落，这一期我们有幸邀请到了“飞行圈”的马机长向我们介绍一下航空之家“飞行圈”。
马机长：飞行圈的英文名叫Air League，是一个航空人士聚集交流的平台，会员们大多是实名注册的飞行员，乘务员，地勤和航空专家。飞行圈已有5500名会员，目前会员增长的速度很快，不久将会达到6000人。
Claire: 我知道飞行圈是一个航空精英组织，你能具体跟我们说说吗？
马机长：飞行圈的目标是建立中国最专业的航空交流平台。目前我们已经有了12个飞行技术交流群，一些航空翻译交流群，还有签派，陆空通话，波音和空客机型的交流群等。群成员之间可以直接有效的沟通，快速获取实时信息。
Claire：你对我们的播客有什么期待吗？
马机长：现在网上有很多播客节目，但很少是跟航空相关的，所以你们的播客很有吸引力，我们也希望能借助博客提高英文水平，了解更多的航空术语和行业动态，获取对业内的新闻的专业意见，当然还有通过讨论来认识更多的朋友。
Claire：你会向朋友推荐我们的播客吗？
马机长：当然会！这个平台无论是对业内专业人士还是航空爱好者来说都十分有意义。
Claire：你认为中国的航空业，首要有待解决的问题是什么？
马机长：航空安全是中国航空发展中最重要的问题之一，过去是，现在是，将来也是。回顾过去30年，提高航空安全一直在民航发展中处于优先地位，中国的民航事故率只有世界平均水平的十分之一，比美国少二分之一。现在我们正努力维持这样的低事故率，无论是在通航，还是在航线运输上。
