DM,
On Ralph the Bong's criteria, I think you missed out on the first six points, and the seventh one's questionable.
People should be free to express an opinion on this forum without receiving personal attacks like yours. You seem to find it hard to accept that anyone could possibly have a different opinion than yours. If you are content to see pilot's wages trending downwards, then good on you - but don't expect me to agree with you.
PS I think my uniform would still look much better in the supermarket than your safari suit.
