It's you who needs to "pull your head out of your a-hole", MRS Q, and realize that this job is not ONLY about " for what you do".
It is all about the responsibilty we accept, and that you entrust to us, on each and every flight - your life, and/or those of your family.
If you and cookie boy don't believe your miserable backsides are worth a dollar or two, don't start blowing off about airline pilots the next time there's a semi serious prang.
You're only getting what you've paid for ("As ye sew, so shall you reap").
A pilot's experience is based, amongst other things, on the number of hours he has flown.
His employment chances are based on those hours, PLUS the fact that he has demonstrated the ability to make decisions which have NOT ended in an accident.
Cookie boy proudly announced that he was due for an imminent pay rise shortly. Why do YOU think that is, PAF?
Because you'll be better qualified? (The toast burnt only on 1 side, instead of both.
)
