Smile Airline Employees for study?

Hi, hope this is an appropriate forum to ask, and post this.

I'm a student doing my masters degree in communications in Cardiff, Wales. I'm doing my dissertation on communication crisis management within airlines, and I'm looking for people who do, or have, worked in the industry who would be willing to grant an interview.

I'm looking for all levels of employees, from management, to crew, to desk agents. The interview can take place by email, Skype, or if you're in the U.K. in person. Whatever you prefer.

So my question, is there anyone lurking here in the forums willing to participate in the study? The interview can be completely anonymous.

If you have any question, feel free to PM me or ask... I'd be grateful in any assistance.

Thank you!

If the study can be "completely anonymous" how do you intend to verify that the person (minimally) really is/was an airline employee? You could get responses from bored thirteen year old kids.

In this context, "anonymous" probably means that the participant's name won't be revealed to anyone except the investigator.

Perhaps, but the OP said "completely anonymous."

Yes, sorry, a bit of misunderstanding. Yes, I'd want to be certain of the identity of the interviewee, but they can be anonymized within the study if they'd prefer.
