Mates
Had a bloke repeatedly pester me for a job. Finally relented and within a month he had knifed me in the back to the owner/ops manager about duty times (The pilot wanted to work outside CAO48). I wouldn't bend the rules so had to leave. Haven't flown for a living since. Thanks pal! Still, I believe in karma.
Lesson to newbies: Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies even closer.
