Simon,Â
If you can't attract a pilot with the most modern battery powered plastic then
it truly is time for me to retire. It must be some sort of ancestor worship
that draws people to old fashioned, 35 to 1 compression ratio, high bypass
behemoths that set off noise monitors from Amsterdam to Frankfurt. Be ready to
comfort them when they realize their mistake.Â

Eric, I keep trying to warn my ex-colleagues of this yet they continue to
flock to the new jobs being offered by DHL, which is expanding even more in
Europe and the UK. They just won't listen to me. What can I do to persuade
them that these stupid Germans have got it all wrong and the real money and
long- term career prospects are in EV taxi start ups and lo-cost long haul,
preferably under any Norwegian sounding name?
