Marcus makes valid points, and guys, assuming he is legit, he is the employer, and regardless of the PC remit of employers limited question range, I totally agree with him.
In the current climate it is refreshing to see the other side of the fence, and also the inside story.
Our job is not to fly the aircraft, a monkey can do that (G550 or Airbus), but to manage the resources, look after the owner and FAMILY.... ensure the safety of the passengers, as well as act many times as the
PR person for the owner.
We are more involved in the lives of our passengers, than almost anyone else in thier business.
I am proud to be a freelance / contractor. I meet so many varied crews and owners, some good some bad....but I must adapt to their ways and needs not enforce mine.
Marcus, please do not take the remarks too seriously.
