Paramedics are the best. Having been a former member of a bush fire brigade, I used to almost faint at some of the things I saw in road accidents. I don't do blood, but had to in that job. They are amazing. As for pilots, they are actually non existent, locked on the flight deck since 9/11 they are no longer visible, and can only be seen in the terminal. Not like the great days when you had visitors to the flight deck, and enjoyed it, talking to different people and really enjoying the kids. God only knows how many kids thought, this is for me, and gone on to join us. No longer possible. People now just hope the mystery person up the front knows what they are doing. For me that is not progress.
