I read a post about what pilots want...something about speed protection.
What pilots want is to be well paid, lots of time off, and pretty flight attendants. We should fly enough to be very proficient in all aspects of non combat flight. We should have enough time off that we look forward to going flying again.
We also want fellow pilots who ''play for keeps''. Perhaps best explained by the "match" incident in "Fate is the Hunter".
We also want honest planes that are reliable and understandable.
We don't want to have to worry about any other aspects of our life when we come to work, whether it is paying the mortgage, family well being and health, or our pensions.
All the gadgets in the world developed since 1992 could be thrown out of a plane and we can still get the job done.
anyone who hasn't read "fate is the hunter'' and doesn't know the ''match'' incident ....while in a terrible storm, making a range approach, with the attitude gyro out of service, having tumbled in terrible turbulence, the captain started lighting matches in front of E.K.Gann, the copilot...he did a fine approach...just as the copilot was going to beat the crap out of the captain, while safely on the ground, the captain said something like: we play for keeps!!!!!!!!!!!
Fly the plane, play for keeps, and yell when the other guy is
up....am I allowed to say
up on this website?
