Hopefully, what you say is true. Today.

I've been in Qantas long enough to know that hasn't always been the case. I've known S/O's never to make F/O on account of the fact that they were "foolish"...

Keg, my question was to Ken, not you, but since you've re-entered the debate:

TBM, I agree, but some seem to believe SSM will destroy their "Pleasantville (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120789/)" society.

Ken,

I'm not really interested in why they want to do it.

I'm more interested in why you don't want them to do it.

I can only quote 8 words from your diatribe that I agree with.
