..start with the Qantas QF1 incident in Bankok in Sep 1999 - fascinating.

Many thanks- will do. Sure appreciate all the help.

The need for strong willed people to sometimes press on when it becomes foolhardy is necessary for those souls to 'survive' in their chosen environment - sometimes their judgement can be clouded by circumstance and the need to 'save face'.

:)

You must be some kind of Instructor Ted. Your readin' me like an open book. That's just what i was tinkering on earlier. Aside from the Pilots' personal psychological warfare, they're juggling stigma as well? Some of which is manipulative. It put me to mind of my feeling duly humbled in considering a Commercial Flying Environment. This being a heart-felt and grounded respect of the job description. Which might be just short of the embarrassing and upsetting hysterics they're exposed otherwise? -I've caught glimpses of what Pilots see on the faces of people while they're walking through the Terminal. It's tormenting from a distance, seeing them quietly try and reassure people. This while getting in front of some good form themselves, or trying to decompress.

-And at the other side of it: my own reaction, when hearing statements that they're nothing more than Glorified Bus Drivers. I suspect for the most part, when they hear this kind of BS it's like 'Water Off'a Duck's Back' -as my Daddy used to say. My point's that i liken this kind of calculated regard to Airlines, when leaning on Pilots to seeming-point of 'saving-face'. It's a fair lean, and money in the bank tactic. However paradoxically direct and subliminal the manipulation. They know all too well what makes the sort of individual they're employing, tick.

"Saving-face" being a hollow glance at the reality of a Pilot's plate-full, as you've obviously been pointing out Ted. -Given your many years experience, seeing things up close. I'd like to see the corp.'s in the front office, tie on... throw hundreds of people on their back, and get'em to pleasant-point B safely.

-And on time(?)

:)

Sons'a -- foul mouth.. Bleep da bleeepin' ..So and so's.. Bleep'n bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep-

Likely it's all far more pronounced with the guys on the ground, keeping them in the air.

Mucho Gratis, from here in Sunny Balto.

Please let me offer my self-correction here Ladies: my Mother taught me better than this i can tell you.

'..with the (guys) - on the ground.'

Not to mention, my insult to all the Gals Piloting as well. A thousand pardons. :)
