Hey guys,
I would like to thank all of you for some very insightful input. Congrats to all that have made it, and I have been really impressed with the level of professionalism in all of the responses. It is refreshing to see such an open discussion without things turning ugly like so many other boards. This topic was never meant to pit one nationality against any other, and I am glad no one took it that way. There are great pilots from around the globe, and I wish I could have met even more of you through Cathay. Maybe next time. Cheers
RF
