(but quietly )their 3 sector, 12 hour China experience that lays ahead, with the CX boys looking forward to 4 crew Madrid or London or JFK. No one would actually choose a KA roster vs a CX one (or HKA 350!) , or am I missing something? (sorry, thread drift)
Yes, you are missing something Vermin. Constant jet lag is the way to go is it? I think I probably speak for the majority (certainly B scalers) when I say KA is not really about the flying. It's all about the contract. Each to their own. Nobody in KA is embarrassed about their roster, leave system, housing, 13th month (shall I go on?) and nobody cares where you are going on your 4 crew trip, certainly not in KA.
