I know for a fact it was a pilot that pushed to buy 777s for QF but the dickheads didn't agree and even Dixon admits his mistake. Who started and ran the airline for about 65 years? A pilot. Who started Cathay? A pilot. Who started KLM? A pilot. Most of the **** in Qantas we could see happening way before the blunts even knew what day it was. Which group has the most skin in the game? Pilots. I know pilots whom are Doctors ,Lawyers, Pharmacists, Engineers by the hundreds, Mathematicians, even a bloke with a PhD in Physics, so don't ever believe some tosser in management knows more cause generally they don't.
