WBF - excellent post at 10.58 Spot on. No point in moaning about the rules. Love them or hate them they are the rules of the game. Life can and will deal kicks in the teeth. It is how you deal with them that counts. My Dad, long dead now, was a BA TRE. He lost his licence in the aftermath of the Staines Trident crash when heart exams were toughened up. He came from the crap end of Glasgow, flew fighters in the war and then went through Scottish Airways to BEA then BA. Flying was his life but not once do I remember him moaning about his bad luck.
