Sorry, I don’t buy into racist comments.

When I was with ANZ we referred to Australian pilots as our ‘brothers across the ditch’. We may have flown for different airlines in different countries, but we always felt bonded as Pilot ‘brothers’. Doesn’t look like that comradeship exists anymore. Real shame. Hell, one of my most favourite memories from flying was being stranded in a location with two KLM pilots whom I had never met before. Two days and 3 nights of unbridled drinking, debauchery (I am trying to keep the story clean for the ‘woke’ fraternity), and then more drinking. Bonded by the epaulette.
