Frogman, I don't think you get my point. I understand completely the fear that is around the domino effect of this will touch everyone. I am not in denial regarding the current massive global economic adjustment, but rather the massive panic and fear that goes along with these uncertain times which actually only serves to contribute to the losses and does not help anyon. Also I am sick of those who sit by awaiting crises to justify their own lack of "investment" in life. It was the same during Sars Tsunami Y2K and on and on. I also hate to see the younger lads and lasses ask genuine questions both here and in the cockpit only to be scared out of their bejeezus by whingers not only on this issue but on many issues. That approach is unhelpful. Are we trained in emergencies to shout..."were goin down were goin down?" A little of the qualities our profession should exhibit in our jobs in should be evident outside of the cockpit as well as inside. It would be nice to see some of that.
The fact is for the past 10 years or so we have fooled ourselves into thinking we have control over our lives and security. Fact is THE ONLY THING WE HAVE CONTROL OVER IS OUR REACTIONS/RESPONCE.
Appletree I have never driven a Chrysler in my life and misquoting Montalbán does not make your attitude smell sweeter!
