Dear Peter,
I am still trying to digest the contents of the letter you sent out to your trainers yesterday.
Here are a few thoughts for your very own perusal:
First of, If you now ask your trainers to calm the troops, it would have helped hugely to inform us a bit earlier of this incoming corporate '****-sandwich'.
Sorry for being a bit 'emotional' now ourselves, but you probably knew of this mess a bit earlier than reading it in Anna's Friday drivel recently, didn't you?!
Because now, you will also have to deal with a very large group of very disgruntled trainers as well.
Good luck with that.
Secondly, and more importantly: Trainers are pilots. First and foremost.
If you wish to buy our souls, it'll cost you a bit more than the pathetic 10% increment you are paying us at the moment.
Any attempt to pay us 'by-the-hour' like some 'uber-jockeys' will lead to the annihilation of your training department.
Trust me on that.
And lastly, when the jet is on fire, you do NOT 'wind your clock' and sit on your hands to contemplate about life.... you act!
We will act. Rest assured, Peter!
