Three Bars. An excellent, well thought out, aspirational and truly heart felt post. I don't think there would be a single pilot in Auustralia today who disagrees with your sentiments.
Unfortunately, it just isn't realistic. The world out there is dog eat dog.
I just can't see Australian pilots ever getting it together for the common cause, and Gnadenburg is correct.
Simply put: Pilots are just too selfish.
