Tankengine,
I'm not clinging on to nostalgia. All I'm trying to do is conjure discussion about how to improve our current situation by learning from the past. Rose coloured glasses maybe, but I'd like to think there could be some common good out there.
And yes, those Eastern blokes kinda needed a dose of reality while insisting on datal seniority. Clearly by your response...(defeatist) that any improvement will be blown out of the water, not by management, but by pilots themselves.
We are indeed our own worst enemy.
Back in my box...
