Zitat des Tages von Gordon Bethune:
Watches are the only jewelry men can wear, unless you're Mr. T.
Every pilot thinks they're the best pilot in the world. I think I'm the best pilot.
What you measure and reward is what you're going to get.
There is no economy without airlines. Airfreight runs the world. There is no Honolulu without an airplane. This is a very complex system. If you take it down, you can't build it back up overnight.
The guy in the airplane goes with you. So he has self-interest to do the good things, too, and I don't know of any pilots that don't have a self-interest in staying alive.
The substitute for knowledge is money.
The airline business is the biggest team sport in the world. When you're all consumed with fighting among yourselves, your opponents can run over you every day.
I just want to be able to get on an airplane and enjoy myself in Disneyland, not sit there worrying about all these assassins.
Whether I'm at the hangar or at the airport or on an airplane, I get respect. And that's the best part of my day.
I was a mechanic in the Navy. And mechanics in the Navy are like mechanics in airlines. You may have more stripes than I do, but you don't know how to fix the airplane.
A bankruptcy judge can fix your balance sheet, but he cannot fix your company.
We tax air passengers like cigarettes and alcohol - we impose sin taxes on travellers.
