For heavens sake.......
Isn't it just typical of Australian pilots and too often of the Australian attitude in general? A bloke says something to refocus the public, to remind them of the inherent VALUE within companies, namely the employees - all employees - and their professionalism. To refocus away from those who do nothing but financially re-engineer balance sheets to SUCK that value away. And what do you guys do? Start ripping him to shreds.
Mike Glynn is a thorough gentleman. If he was quoted accurately - IF - then he certainly wasn't intending to denegrate professional aviators not in QF. And he would correct his words no doubt if he could. He is attempting to remind the average Australian that PEOPLE within companies such as QF are valuable!
Take it for what he means, what he intends and stop whining and bitching at every opportunity. Crikey!!
