From the first post.....
It seems to me that many many pilots are not happy with their lot
And some-one else has posted a remark that pprune is full of whingers.
I've been in the industry for nearly 40 years, some of them flying, sort of semi-commercially...
I've been associated with professional pilots, worked with them, written their Ops Manuals, organised their transport and accommodation, prepared and filed their flight plans , on and off for most of that time.
Never in the history of the world has a group of people doing the job they love (well 99% of them do), mostly for more pay than anyione else in the company gets, been so ready to moan about almost everything, pretty much continuously.
It's just a habit; don't take any notice unless and until they start actually getting other jobs instead of talking about doing that.
Stand-by for incoming...................
