Frankly I still shake my head that we are even having this discussion.
Absolutely spot on.
Unfortunately management don’t see it this way. The sad truth is they just don’t place much value on what the pilots do.
Except, of course, when there’s
PR to be done. Then they want pilots and nurses out there smiling away saying how lucky they are and how amazing everything is...
