Bob doesn't suffer fools lightly, after almost thirty years in the industry can you blame him? He has seen every mistake it is possible for 'wet behind the ears' newbie to make dozens of times over and then some!
I am surprised at the number of pilot's who sit around and bitch and moan about Bob all day, but not take the time to go and talk to him and learn something about him!
Pilots who stood up simply did not progress !!!
In my experience if you made a fair point it would be listened to, but then again if you've never spoken to the man other than to say "hi", then how would you know?
I am thankful for the start Bob gave me and the opportunities he provided, probably wouldn't mind being CP out there one day, could think of a lot worse things to be doing!
