Ok, I am sure this is going to irritate a few people, but please consider how you have responded to this topic so far.
It amuses me that nearly every day I see new posts on this forum relating to pilots' poor working conditions, with sweeping statements along the lines of "management wouldn't know how to run an airline, they don't care about us pilots" etc.
Yet here we have a situation where our industry affects other people's lives, and we lash out with more sweeping statements: "I have zero sympathy..." etc.
My conclusion... pilots whine just as much as "pimply whingers who ought to be sent to Cobar or Warburton".
