OK then 411A , the very best of luck to you. I'll look forward to reading more.
As it happens, I am not in need of a job. I have a very good one which involves not just flying, but training and (gasp!) management. I get the best (and worst) of three worlds.
Strangely, despite somehow getting involved in this thread, and taking a clear position (more for the sake of a decent discussion than anything else), I find myself unable to knowingly cost my company money. Some might suspect that comes from wearing a management hat, but the reason is simply that going out of your way to waste money (or not save it) ultimately has only one result- a reduction in pay and conditions.
In my company, the senior management team are motivated, clever people who know better than to upset ANY group of employees, within the constraints they operate under. Their management style is fairly transparent and a spade is called a spade. This would appear to be an increasingly rare situation, so perhaps I had better stay!
