WCollins,
In fact you can have my job, if you are suitably trained, suitably qualified, with an appropriate attitude, able to demonstrate adequate ability and are prepared to move your family anywhere on the planet to have said job.
I don't actually think I had attempted to make an attack on school teachers or any other noble profession, but I'm still waiting for someone to tell me where things are getting better. It's not a hard question.
Turn around in the industry? Shortage of pilots? Massive aircraft orders? Improving pay and conditions? Anyone.....
Thanks for the rant Cowpat. Venting is not just something that the fuel tanks have to do from time to time.
