andyman_82,
I am only 3 years older than you so I am classed as young and new to the industry and I can tell you that no-one else shares the same opinion as you.
If you don't care about money and conditions and only care about flying for a couple of years so you can get it on "with some hot shelia hosties " (because you have the idea that being the only straight bloke on the plane might make it easier to score **rolls eyes**) then please research working for another airline other than QF.
We on this board are career flight attendants - ANY career flight attendant would care about wages and conditions and never take their job for granted - HENCE OUR REASON FOR BEING ON THIS BULLETIN BOARD.
You obviously don't want a lifelong career as a flight attendant - otherwise you would be interested in preserving our conditions to ensure you have a long lasting career rather than becoming another "easyjet" "ryanair" 12month burn out and resign statistic.
Think about it mate
