Without looking at slickster's profile, I can tell just from his post that he has done the job of flying longhaul for a major. No need for profiles. I can tell that because I do that same job. Unlike some of you that clearly have never have, and fail totally to understand the point he was making. Preferring to make stupidly abusive posts.
I have news for some of you.. Pilots are human. They have human faults, and human problems. Our children still get sick, family die, and wife's run off with the next door neighbour. And when you next get on an aeroplane your pilot just might have had a blazing row with his girlfriend. But you know what, 99.999% of us deal with the problems of life appropriately. And what is more, appropriately on the end of a phone, 6000 miles away from home. Time after time, and year after year.
