Getting back to the 2 Books- I have purchased & read both & am very impressed with the honesty & openess of both scripts. A very fitting tribute to the FEO profession, which rightly claims to have NEVER lost a human life on ANY Australian registered aircraft that had a dedicated FEO as a Crew member , due to accident.
Time marches on & the sad state of Aviation in Australia reflects the bastardisation & tyranny that has beset the industry over the past 25 years.
The rot started after the 1990 Pilot Dispute & has never reversed.
The disaster of the A380 as far as earning its keep is still haunting any airline that has them in their fleet. Time will tell what lies around the corner in the industry; I am for one , Very, Very, glad I am retired & out of the current scene , but have vivid wonderful memories of my career in the industry in the halcyon years of the pure jet era from the mid 1960's.
