A bl00dy wind-up, no way mate!
I don't reackon some of youse could see a bl00dy semi-trailer comin' standin out on the Birdsville Track, 'til just before it hit ya!
Rice almighty theres new low cost airlines springin up all around you - just about poppin' outta ya ears, stickin' blokes in the pointy end of Jumbos, wiv no more than a cuppla hundred hours on bugsmashers, payin' 'em crappy wages, an a few of ya carn't see the bl00dy forest for the trees.
C'mon boys, get real - how hard IS it to fly? Guarenteed if ya took a young 18 or 20 year old off the street whose never flown ever before, and stuck 'im in one of them simbulaters for 4 hours a day for a month, you'd ave 'im flyin it as good as any of youse!
Am I right or am i wrong?
The technology of todays airoplanes allows it to be that way. Wether ya like it or not.
The new technology (I like that word!) has and is REPLACING your skills!
Sum of youse need a prod with a sharp stick to make ya see where the salery status of pilots is headed.
No way I'd be sending anya me kids into the flyin game if they was that way inclined today. No bl00dy way, mate.
