G'day
Chuckles,
In my post above I was referring specifically to the Ansett drivers who lost their jobs when Ansett collapsed in '01. I can only speak from my experience, to a man, not one of them has carried on with "this is how we did it in Ansett". Perhaps as The Pirate says, I'm lucky.
As for the pre/post disputers. I don't try and keep up with who's who, except for one who trained me years ago on the Smurf Jet, who often left the flight deck to "give birth to an Ansett pilot".
UNOME
He didn't say 12 years. He said 12
airlines.
And, can I have a bet with you about Woomera being a jet* pilot?
