Yup, from the time I did over there it is striking how unified the pilot groups are and supportive most colleagues are. It's sad and frankly pathetic that over here we are quite happy to trample our own grandmothers at the expense of another pilot or group. And for many Aussies to still act like we invented aviation, the "Austronauts" were by far the worst ones I ever encountered in my time overseas...and there were a few of them.
