Looking after pilots is nice in theory, but our profession is plagued by misnomers and a consummate lack of understanding or respect for what we can and do bring to the operation (thanks Bob ya w@nker). Management simply cannot bring themselves to break the anti pilot attitude and until then they will continue to see the steady outflow of pilots. In the case of Cobham I think they are so far off the back of the drag curve they will have to descend to recover.....management, don't bother trying to understand that analogy, it's a pilot thing!
