I am dammed if I remember where all the pilots came from, some from USA, South Africa and New Zealand I remember, and the Australian papers were full of adds for Airline pilots, like you think you could get them out of centrelink. I think we were all in such a state of shock, we had no idea what was going on. What I do remember with terrible clarity is one of our colleagues could not cope, he already had marital problems, and dreaded the loss of his kids, loss of job was the final straw, so he topped himself. Myself and 5 other TAA pilots had to make the trip to ADL for his funeral, and had to board a aircraft we knew like our own car, that we had logged hundreds of hours up on, and listen to some yank welcome us on board and hoped we would have a good time folks and enjoy the flight. None of us dared look at the other, we were all to distressed. Jesus, don't go down our path.
