Carruthers....wouldn't be a suit by any chance, would you?
Of course we've been sussed, it's 2003 and everybody's been sussed. There isn't a profession left that 's not under pressure for more work and less pay with T's and C's heading south. Doesn't hide the fact though that running these airlines are a bunch of empty suits who haven't really been doing an exemplary job of late, fact is, most of the decision making would have been equally effective if made using the dart/dart board principle.
Wasn't aware that the suits were putting their own money where their mouth's were, thought they were losing other peoples cash while collecting an over generous salary for a job poorly done prior to bailing out on golden parachutes. Silly me, live and learn I suppose.
Metaphorically speaking, pilots rarely end up in a smoking hole but the suits seem to crash with monotonous regularity. Come on suits; sit up straight, pull your socks up, put the thinking caps on and give us pilot types nothing to whinge, bitch and moan about. Asking too much from the suits isn't it? Bit like expecting a leopard to change its spots.
