I, like many of my colleagues are being driven to distraction by the incessant, uninformed, gullible and just plain stupid media/public/relatives questions and opinions on the very unfortunate Germanwings incident last week.
I won't relive some of the absolute clangers that I have heard professed as "gospell" on what we do for a living. Suffice to say can so many seemingly intelligent people be so uninformed?
Patrick Smith at Ask The Pilot obviously couldn't take it any more and set about righting a few wrongs so please world, in the interests of accuracy, read his post at the link above and learn what we really do.
This quote from Mr Smiths excellent article very accurately sums up how we all feel -
"I am not sure what to say. For pilots, that a colleague may have intentionally crashed his plane and killed everyone on board, is not only horriffic but embarrassing, offensive and potentially stigmatising to the entire profession".
Safe skies.
