... you are right Crab, as I pronounce the lack of competence in the global pilot workforce I am deafened by the silence and disinterest and in that respect I must empathise with your concern.
Unfortunately the reality we must both face up to is that the only joy we will experience will be Pyrrhic. When it all turns to rat-s**t we can claim, from our bath-chairs, that "We told you so."
I don't expect this conclusion will make you feel at ease about this dilemma but for those of us who used to be where you are and know what you are talking about we are just far enough away from the coal-face to realise that in the big scheme of things it doesn't matter one iota - the NHS will pick up the broken bodies and the compensation payments to crippled back-seaters will come out of another budget.
