Crewing the queen of the skies would be a privilege to the fortunate few.

Makes one bitter, it seems
And that is why the pay is rubbish at a lot of operators , crewing the “ queen of the skies “ is not a privilege , it’s a JOB and should be paid as such . Wake up and lose the spotter mentality .
As for “ seeing the world “, have you ever spent any time doing the hajj or time in Jeddah ? It’s not very nice, trust me.
