G'day mates.

I seen this website on a coupla o'casions and I reckon it s about time I said what buncha wallys some of ya like ta make outcha are.
Now I gotta lotta respect for truckers, and bussies, an I even know a bit about flyin' meself - me mates a pilot an e's taken me up a coupla times on the weekends.
Ain't all that hard cos e's flown wivvout an instructor pilot next to him after e's been flyin for only 10 hours. An' me, I had a go meself - funny 'ow your work that accelerator with ya hands by pushin' an pullin' - sorta like a cross between a car accelarator an a motabike handle ain't it!

Anyaways, I got ta thinkin', why the fark do youse need all this trainin"?
Like a semi driver can learn to do his sh/t in about 10 hours, an' a bus driver can do it in abouts the same time. What makes youse think that ya need that much extra time.
I rekon me cabbie mate - given 20 or 30 hours - could be an airline pilot if 'e really wanted to be.
(I could too ya know, 'caus I gave it a burl, an' it ain't all that hard).

What's ta stop some people who want ta fly big jets from jus' doin' a training course?
Seems like it's a simple job. Specially if ya know what buttons to push.
An yer getting paid ****eloads to do it.
