So by your own definition - A scale and a small minority of B scale pilots are the 'best of the best'?
Spoken like a true A scale w****r my friend!
Just because a company USED to make you think you are special, certainly does not mean that you are. I hope the traveling public are now aware of how thin the safety margins have become, flying with crews of B and C scale quality.
The current management now consider you and the lofty opinions of your experience as a temporary necessary annoyance and nothing else. The only attitudinal concerns they have is whether or not you will extend beyond 55 on a lower scale and save them money. How the high and mighty have fallen!
Good for you having been born more than half a century ago and been in the right place and the right time to get an A scale contract but to imply your superiority because of it says it all perfectly and describes in a nutshell why any aspiring young and obviously less than capable aviator should avoid this company like SARS.
You need to stop watching Top Gun, over and over and over again
