Thanks Flat Chat an Al
I fully realise that I will never be competent enough or skilled enough to be aLine Pilot for any airline, but have just as much JetA1 running in my veins as any person here - and appreciate you both acknowledging that.
I bear you no ill will Cooma as I have mentioned ego - something needed in varying degrees to make it to the top - and I hope you do. A great mate who was an EW skipper, a guy that visited many of our barbies said that if the F27 broke down, he could fly the pax to Melbourne on his ego.
If you can find a port and a ground crew that can turn you around in a 146-200 in 7.5 minutes Cooma - then I probably trained them or their Airport Manager.
If you cant be the king pin - be the best support on earth.
We did that at DPO with and F28-4000 - world record as far as I know - Bill Friend was skipper. 50 off - 44 onwith bags and freight.
Team Cooma - all of you.Please remember that and you will be respected and loved wherever you go. From the instigation of the booking to pulling up at the aerobridge.
Best all
