Very refreshing to read a post like yours LP.. .. .As an Ex-Ansett driver with little or no direction at the moment I find the prospect of leaving the aviation industry altogether an easier option when I think of all the venom been thrown around.. .. .I have read the thread "Ansett,TAA the good old days" and was appalled that the men of then couldn't even reminise without some people sledging them.. .. .Airline Aviation is indeed a very different world these days and there would be very few Pilots who would say that all the changes have been to the benifit of the profession.. .. .For those with Asia in mind it is encouraging to read views such as yours. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
