I like black humour....
Anyhow, my employers did fly with me for quite a time (actually 10 years) as charter clients before they offered my a position in their then non existent FD. Been employed 11 years last June and hope to make it to retirement there. Look, piloting is - IMHO - not the real point when dealing with personell that has a
license and considerable time. Managing all the s*** around flying is the real hard think to do and where a lot of money can be saved or be lost. Having somebody learn it on the job costs your money. I know a guy in the States who used to work for my former employer on a CL300. Was an aircraft mechanic and pilot. That guy was worth his weight in Gold.
BTW: as you already discovered, if you ask 5 pilots the same question, youŽll get at least 7 different answers. And not all are wrong....
