My posts above were written as an experiment to see what kind of response they would generate with reference to a pilots ability to run a major airline.
In the 7 responses immediately following there are:
2 people choose to ignore me from now on, I am branded as unintelligent, I have failed plasticine class at kindy, pilots have the most skin in the game (forget the many other thousands of people that make an airline work - back to that insulated bubble I was talking about earlier), I am a wannabe who cant get a command, and so on.
And all that from the people who think they should be running a multi billion dollar company....
It is a big difference starting your own airline from scratch as a pilot and learning the way to run it along the journey, from simply being an airline pilot and jumping in the deep end to steer the QANTAS ship 90 odd years after it was founded.
