Birdstrike hello,
I am sorry if you did not like the tone of the ending, however I did not mean it to sound they way you understood it. I am not a management wanabee, far from it, as I enjoy my days off and I am not interested in getting "ahead". I love to fly and that is the end of my relationship with aviation. All I was trying to say was that we should not blame general accepted practices within the airline that no-one has complained about (as far as I am aware) about the errors we make during our daily operations. Having said that I have to be the first to admit that I do make errors, I try to limit them and not repeat them, but hey we are all human. To bad we do not have the opportunity to fly together as I am sure we would also have good fun as I do with any crew on a given day.
JP
