I tried but in vain!
I thought (mistakenly, I realise) that I could stir the conscience of the pilot body at QR and shake at least a few out of their apathy, believeing in the inate goodness in all, or at least, most of us.
When it comes to making a choice, there are generally two options:
Option 1 - Make excuses:
Blame the Company / Airline / Government .......Let them do it............
Why should I have to do it...........
Nobody else seems to be doing it, so its fine if I don't either........
Its not about money, its the thought that matters.......
I did not know him.........
If I ignore it long enough, that tiny little voice of my conscience will eventually go away............
Option 2 - Do the right thing
Alas, the pilots of QR have shown where their choice lies.
I pray this misfortune never befalls your family and they never have to suffer the numbing indifference of your fellow pilots to their loss.
Over and out.
