I
think it is therefore far significant that the likes of a journalist can see the IRONY in some of the above posts that imply serious character defects in a workgroup that is supposed to be lauded for its stability, CRM, and general all round good-eggedness (not sure if that is a real word).
Oh come on, you falling for the biggest Catch 22 trap of all time, a bit like the judge asking the man accused of wife beating, "so when did you stop beating your wife?"
Pilots, even commercial ones, are no more or less filled with pomposity and ego than the general population, including, dare I say it, journalists.
No irony intended, honest!
