Once we were pilots .....

It's in your hands. Act like a pawn and get knocked off the chess board.

I'm a pilot.

That's what the passengers and crew want me to be. If you've got your wings, use them!

I also do CRM. I don't do pawn.

No, no, you've got it all wrong....as a Finance Director once assured me:

"We are all prawns [sic!] on a chessboard!"

Said to me by a commercial director a few years ago, "Shake the nearest tree and pilots fall out" Nothing changes.

Pilots fly aeroplanes and Commercial Directors shake trees. Its a cultural thing.

Shake our trees and its mostly mangos that fall out. That and squirrels. I suppose the pilots here earn enough that they no longer resort to scrumping in the mango trees to feed their families...
