Reminds me of an old adage...

The best way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a large one.

The only thing Whirls has offered me is an ugly and untimely death.


Perhaps it is something I said?

SAS & Whirls.

One can only admire your "love affair"

In my part of town/country the ones who retired richest were the ones who had the most children. And I'm not born in a 3rd world country!

The one that suckered me was my interview with a big helicopter company.

Young man, they said, with what you are bringing to the company, there is no reason you should not have a command in 2 years. Just sign here - these are our standard terms and conditions.

Fortunatly, on arrival at my operational base, I kept the first bit quiet and so did not provoke the howls of laughter that others have when they repeated promises made to them.

The standard Ts and Cs were, of course the new, enhanced ones that had "special" salary scales, no LOL cover, degraded pension etc.

I wish that I had spoken to BALPA before signing.
