It seems like aviation has three types of people:
There are the big 'noises'. The egos who ladder-climb for the kudos. They are the countless CEO's, GM's and the like, more common these days, who merely use aviation as a conduit for their own ends and rarely have a passion for it.
Then there's probably what comprises the bulk of us..those who love aviation, try to earn an income from it, try to give a little back but are kinda just the silent majority.
Finally there are those whose input far exceeded what they have taken from Aviation. Mac Job was one of these.
I remember reading crash comics as a kid and this name Macarthur Job just kept cropping-up year after year. When I got into aviation he was still writing and just last month I downloaded the Flight Safety on my iPad and read "A Dragon's Last Flight" by Mac Job.
An outstanding proponent of common sense and level-headedness in the cockpit (needed now more than ever: what must he have made of the 777 at SFO?).
Good travels Mr Job.
