1. Yes
2. As a fellow TRE , I will happily swap rosters but not pay. (but will buy you a beer as I almost live in Cbank)
3. That is not true single pilot operation, there are guys out there flying harder for less. So invalid point. And unless you are landing / taking off, if you cannot handle the 744 on your own; retire. You have some good FO’s is GSS who are more than capable.
4. Don’t you believe it sunshine, some of the backgrounds of our colleagues are various. ( I assume you were not threatening to organise the $10 hit. Although I think one or two of the Nigels I know would take it on for FUN!!! Not joking)
5. When I was freighting we loaded the cargo by ourselves. Oh and dashes in Nigeria are straight forward, Indonesian islands are much more complicated. You had to know every cousin of Sohato.
6. Basically agree, but as a pilot would you not try to maximise your earnings potential.
I agree the GSS deal is bad news for everybody but please do no generalise about the Nigel’s .It just shows a shallow depth of character. I have the privilege of working with some great guys with very different backgrounds. OK there are a few pratts, but I assume you can think of one or two in every company you have flown with.
Do not forget we are all pilots, there are bigger worries out there.
Regards,
Wide.
