Enigma and I.P. Freely,
Gosh, thanks for setting me straight on so many things in shuch a short time. You guys are so intuitive to realize that my timing must be impecable as I have never flown civilian, only military. I'm not sure where all of us military pilots would be without guys like you setting us straight from time to time emphasizing how difficult flying can be, I mean, golly, we fly only in the cushiest of weather conditions and never get shot at (BTW, when did you ever find yourself single-engine 800 miles from your only airport which was in the middle of an ocean and was in total less than 1,000 feet long and it only had one runway?) Is the sarcasm regarding how I don't find the way you came up any tougher than mine seeping through yet?
My comment was an observation, not a judgement nor a criticism, and to assert I look down on any airline is quite an assumption. Grow a thicker skin and present the facts for your point of view instead of preachings.
And as you were so kind to give an honorable mention that perhaps I did not mean 'a slight', I guess I will afford you the same, but come on...enough with the 'let me tell you something' attitude....in this business we've all walked a mile in some difficult shoes.
No blood, no foul....it's all good.
