Clear Prop! -- Thank you for your post. Your comments:
You could be forgiven for thinking that certain individuals here take great pleasure in bringing to us every scrap of bad news they can find and deliver from their ‘I’m all right Jack’ ivory tower. I’m sure they don’t but, it sure as hell looks that way.
I take no pleasure. The scraps I offer are all from quality sources. My Ivory Tower offers no gaurantee of keeping my base or seat. My wife is drawing up redundancy plans which may well include herself. The recession will be harsh and unpleasant. I certainly will be affected.
Again and again we shoot the messenger despite the Chancellor of the Exchequer stating the we face the worst financial crisis since the 1930's. The country, the West, the airline business is deeply in the brown stuff. Other pilots hate me for saying so.
But it is a fact things have never been worse for Wannabes. THIS IS 1990.
