No, the managers I know are not ex blue shirts. And why do you say that with so much disdain? What is it about being ex Ansett that seems to get peoples backs up? Last time I looked we were pretty much the same as yourself and every other person on the planet.
Same response at Jetstar. I don't get it. Its been 20 years people, time to let your grudges and hang-ups go. If a person is a
pr$%k at your current airline then they were the same at a previous airline. So the logical conclusion is that it is about the individual not who they work for.
