Unfortunately I have met some pilots who can read but not comprehend
That sounds like me many years ago. At the time of my retrenchment from a 737 airline I had around 20,000 hours mostly in command. Tried the taxi driving bit but it got too dangerous with the bogan drunks and druggies.
Then saw an ad for Australia Post motor cycle postmen. I had my own little Honda 50cc bike and reckon I could do the job. Besides I thought I would look real smart in those canary yellow get-ups, big crash helmets and big combat boots to kick the arse of any pit bull that was foolish enough to attack a former airline captain. Fronted up at the Moonee Ponds Australia Post (or whatever it was called in those days) and sat down with 20 other potential Honda 50cc hoons. The aptitude test was dead easy. Even a hoon could pass.
A month later received the Dear Tee Emm letter informing me I had unfortunately failed the aptitude test to be a motor cycle postman. Thank you for your interest.
