A pilot has died. Condolences to him and his family, regardless of nationality and carrier.
Show some class, guys and girls.
there'd probably be more jokes if it were QANTAS/Australian pilot actually.
For what it's worth all this drivel that appears in various forums these days when someone is killed is getting to be a bit much, in my opinion.
People die every day on the roads, but does that compel everyone to get on the internet and offer heartfelt condolences to families they don't even know? Call me cynical if you wish, Christine K once did, but in reality the guy might have been an absolute prick and it's just a vacant seniority number to those below him.
OK, the man died, well that's a shame for him and his family, oh well life goes on for the rest of us.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to go find my asbestos suit.
