very well written...nice research...BTW did the jet airways pilots offer you a smoke in the flt deck ...used to be std practice for a flt deck invite...
well, dont judge an airline by these few pilots who light up. i am sure (leftwing) some guys in your airline (which is having 777 problems right now?) light up too !
Flying Tiger, there is nothing much you can do about what is going on in your former (or current?) homeland, unless you want to give up ur QF lifesytle and head back up there. and 1200 TT for command, which airline is this ?
