Perhaps you were one of my failures.
No, I wasn't. As a matter of fact I had a very successful career in the RAAF, which included several flying postings of my choice, a QFI course, representational duties in a very visible post, early promotion to SQNLDR and a 'gong' in the Australia Day honours list some years back.
I take your point - I am well aware of the need for attention to detail in any flying related activity. Nevertheless, I still feel the tone of your 'advice' to Mark_86 was inappropriate.
