quoting statistics on pprune doesn't mean much at all. I can look up statistics elsewhere. What I do want to hear about is what we see for ourselves on the line, out in the wild blue, or at a meeting of the quiet birdmen.
In my new hire class of about 22 people some 23 years ago, 3 of us were injured and on disability, one died of stomach cancer, one retired, 3 changed to a different airline, one has been pregnant twice, another died of another ailment (I forgot what).
so what does that mean? stuff happens!
cheers
