l would beg to differ. Flying airliners calls for all of those skills.
l hit 62 last weekend and can`t bare the thought. Conned by a German
company leasing aircraft and finished up shipwrecked - excuse the
mixed metaphor- with the wrong type rating at the wrong time at the
wrong age.
They knew when the contract was ending but didn`t tell me.
l phoned in the week following what turned out to be my last flight ever to
be told " l can`t talk to you now, l`m going out to dinner"
l finished up a few quid short of retirement still able to make anything
with wings on talk, and save the tyres.
Why are pilots so disreputable ?
