Competition for Feb. Who is to be the CP 787 ? Will the same do the delivery flight and all subsequent delivery flights (simple Y/N for that one). Wasta ? Still ? It has always been the case but, to be fair, standard for the ME &, actually, quite rife throughout the world in many areas. Look at my mate Donnie Trump.
The thread was from a poster seeking info as he/she was considering joining. Balance is that it is still enjoyable and a great place to live. Oh yes, you will save a bundle even though you might have to fund your own car & dip into your pocket for creaming off life-styles.
No, you won't get to ever do a 787 delivery flight, we know who that will be but, for guys like the OP, go, get in, enjoy, never look back. A good buddy of mine still sings, it was " Hot fun in the sun !".
