Excellant choice. Can't believe the vitriol and anger of some. Pre-judging Alan before he's been given a chance, nasty personal accusations on all sorts of things with no basis of fact, although I'd like to think professional airline pilots would have more decorum and certainly more balanced views. The world has changed for airlines and if you think the industry will go back to where it was, with fuel costs and carbon trading etc squarely on the agenda, get out and do something else where you'll have just as much time to contemplate why you would have definately been a better choice than Joyce.
