smallfry;
SM loves to exagerate a case he/she knows nothing of. On another thread on this forum a pilot asked for SM to be banned, I agree with that pilot. The media read these pages and SM's complete unfamiliarity with aviation practises will eventually cause a surfing journo to take SM's word as gospel.
Like many pilots here I've flown on Shell contracts. The sheer dishonesty of Shell safety beggars belief, the fact that SM thinks it is the worlds greatest tells me that he is as intellectualy dishonest as the real Shell.
SM, I've read the drivel about your "occupation" thankfully my company never wastes money on snake oil salesmen with great buzz words, we prefer to spend it on safety.
Oh, and by the way SM. The ash cloud case was a CAA requirement, most companies who COULD have a problem have applied, how many have the overworked FOIs approved?
Please MODs ban this fool before someone outside aviation takes him seriously.
