To return to the thread's theme....
Every soldier who completes the Israeli Defence Force basic training climbs to the top of the mountain fortification known as Massada which fell to the Romans after a long siege about 2000 years back. At the summit they take the oath...."Never again shall Massada fall"
I would like the year ahead to be a similar "Never again" aspirational and healing year leading the the 25th Anniversary of the Dispute. Never again will pilot be pitted against pilots, never again will the voice of Australia's pilots be muted, or divided, or disregarded, never again will pilots be forced to choose between good decisions and decisions that secure their jobs.
Healing, unity and learning from history.......three fundamental foundations of the future of our profession.
We seek them with diligence and enthusiasm....or ignore them at our peril. To put your own career and bank balance ahead of the collective good....is to imperil all, most especially yourself.
There endeth the sermon. If you'd like to know more, or have some positive plans on how to use this year well.....PM me.
