Talking

Curtailment of privileges of the licence.We all shudder to hear that!!
Deadheading one day I sat next to an eithioligist(spelling??),operating 'gasman'.He raised the subject of'ways and means'safeguards for Competency in the flying game?I pointed out the 5 yearly opportunities we cherished to lose our 'licence'.He felt that the 'acting'medical profession should demonstrate like competency checks,and went on to say how 73year old gasmen,cat napped whilst on their 48hour shift!!
This was years ago-nothing in place yet!!
Remember,they bury their mistakes-we being the first on the scene,are buried with ours!!
Cheers
