Errr, so this thread has now got to the point of comparing nazi war tribunals with Pablos' antics!! Come on, grow up.

Whether we like it or not, our livelihood is governed by the CAA and a large framework of rules. Many of us in the industry DO NOT agree with a large percentage of the rules, BUT they are here to stay. You can lobby the CAA/ Government/ Uncle Tom Cobblys grandmother all you like. It won't make a blind bit of difference.

Many on this website sit at their desk and think about flying as it was 30 years ago. It has changed along with many other industries, not always for the better, but it HAS changed.

We pilots, although on here we now seem to represent a minority, still have to make a living and if that means sticking to the rules then so be it. I can't see many accountants and such like making up their own rules and expecting to get away with it. Unfortunately rules are a sad addition to modern life. If, as a pilot you wish to fly with a minimum of rules, then go to Africa. There you can have minimum rules, along with minimum safety standards and a few more crashes per year than here. You pays your money etc.

As I said many pages ago, if you do not work for MYT then how in gods name can you ask for him to be reinstated. The man is not a living legend, he is a walking nightmare for many that have to work alongside him. He broke rules many times. Ergo he knew he would have to face the consequences. This WAS the final straw. Therefore he has to find alternative employment. It doesn't matter whether the company in question was MYT or Tescos. The employment contract is still the same.
