Monty!
"You mention 'bully boy tactics'. Obviously you haven't worked for an airline yet" : Patronising, assumption, built a brick wall and took an aggressive stance right at the begining. Not very good CRM!
"Second class conditions - you're only a flying instructor, and you're lucky to be at a busy school with plenty of work about" : Who are you to decide if he is lucky or not, doesn't sound like the basis of a discussion between two professionals to me!
"If you can't approach your boss with a problem, what does that say about your personal skills? How will you get on at an airline where the problems are bigger and the bosses often more imposing?" : He is at an airline, you didn't even bother to search his previous threads before you started insulting.
"Food and drink moans... Are you going to join a 'low cost' operator? Take a bottle or a flask and stop being a big baby." : Again, hardly the stuff of a ......what was the word you used'Professional'? discussion.
"I'm sorry to be so patronising, but my message is 'wake up and grow up'. If you need 'out' of Cabair that quickly, e-mail me and I'll do my best to help you out. " : And the proof of the pudding!! You call yourself patronising, you later go on to say " My CRM skills are fine, thanks very much" prehaps you might want to reconsider, or did you not read your own remarks?
"It would be nice to have a discussion here that didn't get dragged down to personal sniping at 'fellow professionals' " I do believe that you are the one who started insulting our lovely Frank not the other way around.
So, I appologise for the 'Git' bit, passion got the better of me. The ill informed bit, well that is quite clearly true, as Frank does not require your generously offered help! as he already works for one of the airlines. As for starting your personality from scratch, it was an excuse to use a favored Blackadder quote.......Sorry!
Thanks for your best wishes, very kind, but barking up the wrong tree?
Cheers.
