You don't get it do you. I am but a cog in the machine helping it go around. No less no more. All l expect is lack of ego, application of effort and professionalism or something approximating that. I really don't need to spoon feed people and mollycoddle baby pilots.
Anyway it seems a moot point now as there is a large risk of our newer brethren being made redundant.
