Industry Culture.

Folks,
This is something I hold dear to my heart at present.
CULTURE.
There seems to be a real lack of culture amongst airline and GA employees. What I mean by culture was alluded to by Owen in the first post of this thread, but for me includes walking the fine line between looking after ourselves as employees and looking after the company that pays me to fly their planes. Its a VERY fine line, but one we all have to walk along.
I see new pilots and flight attendants come throught the ranks with no care and concern for what they do. It seems some out there chose this industry cause, well, I didn't get into whatever else at uni. Nothing wrong with it, but it does not breed passion for our industry
As Chocks said, lets look after each other; help out your mates when they are going for a check, show a GA pilot your cockpit on a turnaorund ( if your security requirments permits) , buy that KEG when you achieve a milestone in your career, look out for each other.
Do even one of these things and we will make our industry just that bit better.
