Do we blame drug dealers?
Do we blame drug addicts?
If you treat the addict, the dealer goes out of business.
If you were able to stop the supply, you wouldn't have addicts.
I, and most everyone I have known has been at the bottom of G/A ranks. Whether I remember Tillair in Alice Springs, Air Mt Isa or flying 'round and 'round in circles in a Cessna 152 in PMQ, I can say this honestly: I never worked for free, and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I have been flying since 1983 and I have never been unemployed for more than a week. Even working as a tradesman's assistant and running off to do the odd scenic flight was fun. Working in the hangar gave me invaluable insight to systems too.
