My 2 penneth worth.
Amex, you sir strike me as an honest individual, who posseses a true sense of his own worth.
NOT a point that can be levelled at just anyone in this industry.
In all walks of life their lurks backstabbers and job stealers....it's up to each to decide if this occupation is better or worse than others.
If i one day share a cockpit with you sir, a pleasant experience i think that would be. Im on the first round at the stopover.
Good luck to you.
And for the record, in my opinion ,anyone who DOES demean themself by working for no pay, not only tarnishes themselves, but the entire cadre of professional aircrew everywhere.
Such money spent, such sweat expended, such hours of study and concentration, such sacrifices made.....and for what??
Enjoy tugging your forelock do we?
As an old Yorkshire friend used to say to me..."you dont have to be right smart to work for nowt"
Thats as applicable in a cockpit as it is down a pit or in a field. Never forget that.
