I was having a bad day yesterday, I should have never stuck my nose into this discussion. We all make mistakes particularly when we are under stress.
Very difficult times now, however I’m sure I will get through it. Apologies and all the best.
Excellent show of humility mate.
There’s a lot of pilots reading these posts that have also been stood down with an uncertain future, good pilots and good people (and a few dickheads too I’d suspect). Also many people who have borrowed a squillion dollars to pay for training that can’t justify the cost now due to low chance of employment.
Aviation is fickle as we all know, but this one is different - you can’t just go overseas and get work.
Covid isn’t any pilot’s fault - so show humility towards your fellow pilot.
You do however, have a responsibility to be professional and remain competent. If we all do this, we’ll be at a better standing towards the public, the government and our employers. This will give your career and the industry the best fighting chance to recover.
