Thanks Rob,

Great news.

To you engineers and grumblers one of the points raised by Rob refers to low hour pilots. You cannot rise within the industry until you get a job. The hardest part of being a pilot within this industry is actually getting the chance to get into it. I know more unemployed low hour pilots than I do employed pilots. Can you say the same of people who wish to be engineers within the industry?

To get your first break you need to bust your butt making contacts, visiting potential employers and just trying to get ahead of the other 50 pilots who qualified at the same time you did. And not only that to contend with the insurance companies want to keep you grounded also.

I applaud Rob and continue to stand by him and the HAA for the awareness they are bringing to the industry. I love flying and will continue to bust my butt to find my break within the industry.

Nice one Rob - keep up the good work
