sharpclassic,
Thank you for picking me up on that. I apologise to anyone who took offense. Of course I was not making the point that certain people deserve the job more than others - the point I should have made and would now like to is that I sympathise with all those who are currently out of employment in the aviation industry. I have edited my post and hope this has no further negative reflection.
I would like to make the point to kotakota that although there were several abbreviations made in my initial post, I assumed that these would be understood by those to whom this thread is relevant.
Kind Regards
