Hey DUCKKNOCKER & DATEPALM,
Maybe you're right re the disgruntled Ozzies bit, but don't make mistakenly assume that ALL ozzies got their ATPLs out of Corn Flakes packets or their experience from vouchers out of a daily rag, because they didn't!
Having said that, you are right about the talent of the local lads. I had the very great pleasure of flying with them many moons ago, and most were really awesome operators!
But watch out if/when the sandmen come to town if they buy QFs 46% share! When that happens you guys make sure that you just stand back when the soap gets dropped in the shower, because if do bend down to pick it up, you may get well-and-truly shafted!
