Sorry for the thread creep, but...

Vera,
Perhaps you should confine discussion to the subject rather than raise points of prejudice from your homeland.

The Turkish issue is seemingly irrelevant to a tech log/Pilot suspension issue.
I understand their overall upset and frustration in that area, but complaining about it incessantly seems to be a national pastime in Cyprus. On a recent 4 hour bus tour of some historic sites around Limassol, the tour guide mentioned "the illegal occupation of Cyprus by Turkish invaders" no less than 16 times (yes, I counted them). Once or twice would have been sufficient. But his repeated whinging only served to p#$^ off a bus load of international visitors and I didn't see one of them give him a tip at the end of the tour.

As for the log entry fiasco, firing someone for making a legitimate entry is grounds for a significant wrongful dismissal suit (in civilized areas of the world).
