Glass cockpits...

Shell Management what utter twaddle you spout. Most of the coal face aircrew are of a generation who grew up with Playstations, iPods, iPhones and SatNavs, and as such have been crying out to fly something at least built in this century, rather than when we still thought steam trains were efficient! Please do not confuse us with the sort of person who still finds it difficult to watch one programme on tv while recording another-those are our Dads, and sadly our bosses...

Just for the record, I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the RAF will cock this up. As they have started by allegedly only using 25% of the personnel they have already trained and payed for, rather than highly expensive rejects from the airline world, then I can guess the goat is out and running... It also made me cringe to imagine the sort of person who would apply for a position as worded in the advert-that TA prick from The Office springs to mind...
