Sorry I am with AAIGUY on this one. The company (GF) have acted disgracefully and the flightdeck are a bunch of wimps. Why in Gods name did we invent a parking brake! Stop flying and management will listen!
Back in the days when the Royal Air Force was a force to be reckoned with we would have gone off on a training flight, diverted to Cyprus and got the job done!
I appreciate that today is different but only because that's what you have chosen.
Captain Gammage I hope that the quality of life improves for you and I wish you and you family well.
