no comment

most operations manuals are very clear on a pilots conduct with the media
"no comment" & refer them to the chief pilot/head office for any official comment

said pilot most likely has entered the forum to immediately eliminate any speculation & inform her peers as to the nuts & bolts, fairly generous on her part.

but being that the media vermin that troll through here awaiting for anything to smite the unwary pilot just to get a headline, was most likely advised (i assume) to make no further comment, particularly on a public forum, which is not ill advise.

Having seen said pilot fly at close hand, she is as smooth and professional as I could hope to be & I'd wander back under her disc area any day of the week. considering the volume of local pilots to pick from, it is no mean feat to secure one of the few flying jobs particularly over one of the most densley populated cities in Australia, above all her male counterparts - she can obviously do the job as well or better than many.

The fact that she has the confidence & affirmation of her chief pilot should be enough to anyone who questions her actions, so why argue.

I have been watching with envy the jaffa flying past our office floors windows every other day of the week. I often take note of where it is headed & trying to work out what is going on today, but most of all wishing that i was up there instead. but never have I seen any action which i would question in regards to safety.

but I watched in much dismay as this thread which should have merely been a discussion on a prudent pilots action turn into a pissing contest.
