TOO BAD,
Well said mate. That is it in a nutshell. Few are willing to "pay the school fees" these days. I come across guys every day who have never flown a piston, except for the first 200hrs of training. If they are not on a jet by the time they have 400hrs, they think their career is over.
RF is entitled to his toys. He has been in aviation longer than a lot of his pilots. ( He still however has a duty to take due care of his employees. )
PS( I met a wide-body, long haul capt the other day, who did not know what a DC3 was??
Where has the passion for Aviation gone?)
