1. I didn't introduce the 'elitist' term, Crewing Doctor did; I merely responded to it - slightly tongue-in-cheek. Suggest re-read.
2. If you are referring to the AAI terms, I stand by my posting.
3. <<why should you have such priviladges?! You are already getting paid far more.>> Not sure if I can make any meaningful response to the politics of envy other than to suggest you pass your exams and train as a pilot. It isn't as easy as you may think.
4. <<You should have been more grateful.>> I will try to be more humble in future.
5. <<trying to keep the company afloat >> So EAAC Ops, Crewing, Commercial staff and most of all, Stoddy will suddenly convert to being knowledgeable, efficient, pro-active and release required spares? - may have happened on the road to Damascus but I don't see it on the road to the Hotel du Vin.
(edited to say that 5. certainly does not apply to all
)
