Yeah you only beat me to this one coz I've busy.

Will applaud RFDS anytime.

Will applaud women pilot thingy anytime.

Use Panadol or similar before opening my bank statements or "discussion" with mrs gaunty about family budgets.

Can't get comfortable with the mixed message here.

Pilot (woman gets attention, dunno what back pain but suspect subtle wimmens business here, but whatever it is needs atention beyond a pill or removal from duty), RFDS (lends authority to the practise), drug taking (it is not an innocuous analgesic, doesn't matter which brand Herron or Home Brand, by any measure and if misused can be fatal), ALL in the context of a normal day in aviation.

Scuse me but I'm missing something here.

So what if they are sponsors, good on em, but it's the wrong message.
