On the surface, things don’t look good for the Captain but more will be revealed at a later date (one way or another) and we should reserve final judgment. Agreed.
HOWEVER, as others have said, what is most disturbing about this thread is the attitude of some who appear to be representing the profession. While other pilots have supported the comments made by LovestoflyPurser, Rainboe has now dismissed them as having no merit. What a surprise.
She is after all just another lowly purser and we all know that cabin crew go to work every day with the mission of making life miserable for pilots. And when someone like BOAC provides a little background insight it becomes “mudslinging”. After all the mud that has been slung in the other direction……
LTFP is right. The problem is no respect. No respect for cabin crew, no respect for pilots with a different point of view, no respect for professionals in related fields, no respect for paying passengers. Respect begets respect.
What’s the difference between a pilot and God? God doesn’t think he’s a pilot. Said in jest but made for this thread. Fortunately, most of us over the age of five realize that just because someone speaks last or loudest, it doesn’t make him right.
Apologies to Captains and First Officers who aren’t dinosaurs, have respect for others and have brought sanity to this thread….. Parabellum, BOAC, Dani and Rananim and others. I still have a lot of respect for your profession—one of the most demanding imaginable.
