DC # 1340 –"The experience of the chief pilot is a question that cant just be thrown away because he had access to others with experience."
Aye, and therein, lays one of the Bankstown Chronicles; a sad tale of experience being sacrificed on the altar of slobbering 'blind obedience'.
For example ; one not so funny yarn is of a very experienced CP who, after chewing down a string of mildly annoying, silly operational dictates, dared to mildly disagree with a potentially dangerous 'edict' and was obliged; under duress and protest to undertake an anger management course. Of course, the stroking of marginally qualified administrative egos from above, being spoon fed by the operationally inept and guided by inutile rejects could not occur in the robust, shiny, squeaky clean world of Bankstown. No way: anger management ? - it's just part of -
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless. Niccolo Machiavelli.
