The Guvnor spouted forth:
<<Oh, come on TwoTun - at least read my post properly. I didn't say anything at all about hours, I said rotations which means that they are getting higher utilisation out of their aircraft and crews - which is what makes them profitable and other people not.>>
To remind about a previous post of yours, you said:
<<Look at the Southwest (and Ryanair) people - they manage many more rotations (and correspondingly hours in the air) than their equivalents in the likes of BA.>>
See - you did say something about hours. Don't berate me for having a go at you when you can't remember what you put in previous posts, old chap.
You also went on to say:
<<In what way, exactly, would you (or wooof) disagree with my statement that pilots are largely systems monitors? >>
How about the fact that I've been flying since 1973, and I don't consider pilots to be "Systems Monitors"?
