In my opinion this is not about smoking . This is about mutual love between people of two nationalities . Another chance to say b..t about ' Irish mob' .
I am at same position as FMC apprentice .
The problem does exist but not to such extent . 20% smoking captains - this is just 10 times more that I have seen in 3 years .
If it worries you so much FMC Apprentice do have guts to say something . Why are you crying here ? I know people who have never tolerated smoking in RYR . They are still alive . They have successfull career if career is so important for you .
What you have said about Eastern bloc pilots ( I do not really know what you mean by that ) is just so familiar example of racism .
If you have passed you HP exam with 100% mark and attended all your CRM courses - this is still not enough to understand what it is all about .
