BongleBear - please tell me you are not for real. I realise on reflection that it would be completely inaccurate to suggest you are not capable of emotions such as love, kindness, consideration and thoughtfulness - it is just that these thought only seem to involve yourself. I sort of hope you are a management pilot just stirring things up. It would utterly depress me to find out that you are a line pilot who really thinks like this. Most people would be too embarrassed to admit to themselves, let alone anyone else, that they had thoughts like the ones you have expressed in their head.
No - it's all too much for me and I will have to leave this thread as I find it so depressing to read this sort of stuff. If there is anyone out there who can see merit in thinking about anyone else other than themselves and their immediate family, I would like to congratulate you as you would appear to be a very rare individual indeed.
