Rongotai some good points well made.
If that is so, how can we believe that there are lots of cowboys out there?
I think that particularly within the walls of this forum people
know that there are cowboys out there but they also
know that they work for other companies!
The mindset seems to be that the name on the side of the aircraft makes a difference to the abilities and attitudes of individual up the front. So by that logic the poor unfortunate Ansett Captain now working for Jetstar or Virgin Blue is now a cowboy until proven otherwise.
