I agree 100% with En-Rooter's response. I STILL hold fond memories from childhood of a lucky visit the the cockpit, seeing two scruffs sitting up there surrounded by the magic dials! It blows childrens' minds and instills aspiration (thats a good thing right?)!
It should be the jobs and pay of beauracrats on the chopping boards if you ask me, who the hell needs them (to the current extent). There is probably some d*ck(s) earning $40k a year to scribe out these useless, nonsense and garabage policies in Canberra.
I am only new to aviation and slowly coming to the realisation of the presence of these kn*bs, and just how counter-productive they are.
