Rainboe, I`m with you on this one. Not necessarily re your opinion of easy but definitely your pragmatism!
Flash, we all have standards, we couldnt do this job without them! and nobody in their right mind likes having the p1ss taken either.
If you have seen any of my previous you will know that I am unemployed, and have been for some time. In May I checked out the Air India Exp contract and decided that I didnt want to spend my life away from home for sh1te pay. However, I put it in the bottom drawer in the hope that something better would come along. In July I was approached by an agency re India and decided that perhaps I should put keeping a roof over my families head above my `standards`. Guess what, in May the age limit was under 62, in July it was under 58.
If I can get a job where I can live with my family then I will take it gladly, and give the 150% I like to give any job I do. We will have to cut our cloth accordingly.
I wont say what I was paid in my last job because it would be embarrassing and you probably wouldnt believe me. But that was yesterday, today is what we have got to live with.
All I can say Flash is, "good for you mate! but for JC`s sake dont leave it too long!!!!"
ps anybody who thinks we are anything other than glorified bus / lux coach/ taxi / limo drivers probably hasnt been in the job very long. No offence intended, `cos ask me if I would chose to have spent the last 39 years doing another job and the answer would be a resounding NO!
"If you cant take a joke....you really shouldn`t have joined!"
