his insight into the line pilot psyche is spot on, especially the dog eat dog mentality....
Yup, I tell it like it is, not how some (many) would like it to be.
Most (but not all) airline pilots today are at the mercy of the company, they call the shots, the pilots either accept...or do without.
Yes, ALPO (etc) win a few battles, however, the ultimate facts are...the pilots play second fiddle to the company.
This is especially true in Euroland, where the pay-to-fly idea has caught on in a major way.
Silly fools...a sucker born every minute.
However, a superb idea from the airlines perspective...what a deal
Do the math. This guy is at least 69 or 70 and it's unlikey that he is flying anything these days.
I can see math was not Spooky2's major.
