Pickled speaks volumes of our system. Someone who has been in BA for 20 plus years and still finds themselves junior and with worse rostering than in the past.
Similar position. Similar JSS outcome. When you seemingly become more junior, the goalposts have been moved based upon a career decision you may have made several years ago. Seriously considering life outside BA now. Just need to convince Mrs Cough that her life will be acceptable with me working abroad.
...not everyone chose to join...
Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no conscription into BA. Yes, some joined by default due to mergers (such as CFE or BMI) and decided to stay but no-one was forced.
