" No gusto, no panache, no nothing.... just scared of anything and everything!"

Oh yes I get scared alright. It is fear and respect for an aircraft (any aircraft) that has helped keep me alive during 40 years plus of professional aviation. Some of it, probably the most dangerous civilian flying on earth, if you let it be. I fear bad weather, the unexpected, people with attitudes such as yours anywhere near an airliner, etc., etc. If you have no fear I am unable to understand why you haven't got yourself into serious trouble before now.

Funny old world aint it?. These airlines put these guys through the hoops etc., in order to get the "best" candidates. Some pass with flying colors and yet display every personality defect known to man at a later date.

"A monkey can be taught to ride a bike (aircraft?) but you cant teach it to read road signs."

I rest my case.
