How Ausi’s are viewed overseas?
As an Ausi working oversees for the past 10 years. The reputation we have is split 50/50. There is the relaxed flying professional and the uptight arseholes.
Nothing to do with 89er’s or Ansett. The relaxed flying professional fits in as 99% of pilots elsewhere are like that. The arseholes have a treble rep, and yes the rest of us are tainted with that rep!
Just look at pprune. The D&G site is full of bunch of back stabbing, petty individuals. These people would be regarded as arseholes in the real world.
And yes, being an arsehole has a negative effect on CRM!
