I must say I find it hard to reconcile the wounded reactions of contibutors to this thread with the same group who criticise a fellow pilot for defending his (and indeed their) professionalism. Not to mention defending his crew.
(See the 'Virgin Skipper has a Flipper' thread)
We are our own worst enemies because we are a profession riddled with division, burdened by excessive self criticism, and plagued by envy and begrudgery.
Lou Scannon, nice post. At least next time someone tells me I'm just a jumped up train driver...I'll remember to ask if we could all be paid as well as those train drivers.
