sigh
i know, its all ghastly now...
i suppose when i think back to my days at BMA, then yes we had what some here describe as 'mavericks' maybe, did i feel unsafe though>? NO
as i put in one of my other posts about BMA and its viscounts,
we flew liverpool to palma on friday nights on summer charters,
(it took all night lol)
i could sit with the capt on the flight deck for t/o, always usually,
he came down the cabin later in the (long) cruise and chatted to all the passengers and then he had his dinner in the empty last row !
(cries into my porridge)
where are we now eh?
i know we can all be nostalgic and blurry misty eyed (we all loved steam trains too) BUT it isnt that long ago this all was stopped.
you guys as pilots could put your foot down and say enough is enough and reown your skills and qualities and then maybe we rekindle something which if we lose now we lose forever.
as i said in my previous post i wish we could poll this.
a nasty thought is that you will all end up like tube train drivers on automatic, and not airline pilots.
