datuk, there lies the problem.
if he only told his stories, without insulting the rest of us, i would not have bothered.
why i would buy him a beer if our paths should cross. i occasionally tell the younger guys a story or two whilst leaning at the bar....
but to say that some do not belong in aviation (according to his yardstick) and that he would do it for half the pay is a bit mucking fuch.
in truth, i tell you, i was trained by aviators of that era.
but never, have i heard them say things like this. even when they were pissed in the worst possible way. they impressed upon us to strive for the very highest standards, because it was the pillar of our trade.
i deserve each and every ringgit i earn, and so do a lot of contributors here.
i just want to know why it took 35 years? that's all.
