Quote: "I've sat in the Qantas flight deck going into LA, that's exactly what they do, it works in perfect safety. Here they are stirring this up and risking people's lives for an industrial agenda."
The Dick is some kind of megalomaniac. He truly believes that sitting in the jump seat has given him the knowledge of thousands upon thousands of hours of experience and that he doesn't need the experience that the professional pilot and ATC world could give him. He reckons, in the distorted views of his brain, that he truly knows it all and is not wrong. In other words, he’s a lost cause.
Air Ace is right, it’s the government that is accountable in this case. Trying to talk sense into Dick is futile.
The Dick and his cronies are simply yes men, the unbelievable ridiculousness of not working with professional pilots and ATCer’s to effect NAS reform is the only TRUE criminality.
PS Jumping on the “bash the unions” bandwagon is a typical ploy these days, blokes like the Dick and other management failures love hiding their ineptitude behind this pathetic rhetoric. I’m so bloody sick of it.
