Pilot, crew, dispatcher, controller, mechanic, frequent flyer, or someone who just witnessed something they can't explain — this is the direct line. Pick the type of story below, tell us what happened, and hit send. No name required. No account to create.
A lot of what makes Flight Crew Files worth reading comes from people still working in the industry — and airlines aren't always thrilled about crew speaking publicly, even about things that are true and important. So this form asks for the story first and your identity never, unless you choose to leave a way for us to reach back out.
There's no field for your name, employer or employee ID anywhere on this form. What you submit is what we get.
Details that could identify you or others are stripped before anything is published, and public-record facts are cross-checked where possible.
If you'd like us to be able to ask a clarifying question, leave any contact method you're comfortable with. If not, leave it blank.
A quick honest note: this is a standard web form, not an encrypted secure mailbox. Please don't include anything here you wouldn't want potentially seen by anyone besides our editorial team. For more on how we handle anonymous submissions generally, see our About page.
Every submission is read by a real person on our small editorial team, then reviewed before anything is published.
