All the above detail is accurate, I've still got the bank statements to prove it.
I know people who did not fly in their years off, but setting this aside: Dirk, would you not taken the opportunity ? Life isnīt fair and in this respect NJE pilots are not worse than others (I think). I have been annoyed (and undercut) by lawyers, medical doctors, executives, even policemen - people who did not need to make their living in this very profession for many years. Such is life in a profession with NO solidarity at all and a hit-and-run mentality of a lot of people involved.
Wether one can look in the mirror is another question, one that one has to answer to himself.
