Guys,
I can't believe what pussies pilots have become. I might be an old fart but I can assure you 20 to 30 years ago all pilots would have walked off the job. And found creative ways to overcome the held in China against their will bit.
This is the age off pay to fly, pay for your own training and backstab your fellow pilots to get ahead etc etc. And look where it has got all of us. Worsening pay and conditions. We used to be looked upon by society as professional white collar workers such as doctors and lawyers. Today we are relegated to mere machine operators.
Get your bloody spine back and walk tall and start to cost the company millions by uplifting extra fuel, dropping the gear at 60 miles etc and do it as a united team. If they don't get the bloody hint. Park the aircraft at exotic locations and desert en masse.
So stop winging like a bunch of little girls and get to battle stations and teach these dishonest, cheating, lying parasites a lesson.
Wooblah.
