All undoubtedly correct nil further. I don’t mind the background of my pilot colleagues, military or otherwise, they all seem a convivial and professional bunch to me. I can only relate my personal experience. My wife likes to make the laden with irony statement that I am going to finally retire from an airline that I don’t actually hate! I wish we could all fly for Air Utopia but it saddens me that Cathay has become like this. The owner of Jet2 does appear to have a Thatcherite view of trade unions including Balpa. But even this will be resolved eventually without excessive angst one day I am sure. However despite this and probably because of market conditions the package has improved considerably coupled with a pleasant work environment makes it unfashionably ok in my view.
Cheers
