Happy birthday QANTAS!
There are lots of us lifers who despair at where the airline is going these days. We're still proud to have been part of it though.
Before I retired I had 52.5 years of service in a large number of roles. I was lucky enough to be flying in the "Good Old Days" before anyone had a camera and a mobile phone. Thank God!!! We got up to lots of mischief! We flew hard and partied hard but, in my experience, were always professional - serious when we needed to be and relaxed when appropriate.
