VAPOUR,
I myself have been in the game for 14 years and as you say I also have had to work hard to get where i am.(dont wear gold bars anymore or reflective raybans).
I dont know really whats happening in Kununurra anymore,only what i hear along the grape vine.I was a Chief Pilot down there for a few years myself and my earlier comments were not to be in anyway a put down on the current generals(as they now appear to be called)but mearly an opinion on the current atitudes of the millions of low time pilots looking for work in kununurra.
Wheather their attitudes are justified or not seems to be a matter for certain managers and senior pilots to consider.
HAPPY FLYING
