Hear, hear anotherthing, tho' I would suggest 'very' is inappropriate for most of us, and in my case, the 'highly' most definitely IS!! Seriously though, I doubt that many of 'our' beancounter managers view us in a similar light - and what of the travelling public too - do many just view us as glorified bus drivers??
A very interesting thread and I think I'm gonna have to dive into the manuals and brush up on one or two items.....
On the subject of expressing one's opinion - well I am often surprised at the 'conviction' with which some contributors post comments - and also the manner with which other's points are dismissed........I know that as pilots we are by nature quite a self-confident and outgoing bunch, but there is a fine line between an excess of confidence and downright arrogance.
