I, as many others, was just going to skirt around putting comment on to a very interesting thread as no one really knows what really happened and can only guess.
That was until I had the misfortune to read the contributions of some helicopter pilot who, from his profile, has a rather inflated ego.
I would suggest to this person that, when he has been around a bit and has some experience of the real aviation world, he will be in a position to justify his comments.
I say this as one, who has in the past had the dubious task of literally retraining military retirees into the real world and demands of flying in a civvy environment, and I would emphasise that this applies only to the very few. Most of you mates are brilliant but there is always one, isn't there ?
Come down from your ivory (I'm a BIG helicopter pilot) tower and get real.
