wait, sitting at home having a great time, partying 24/7 and getting paid for it for the last +1.5 years?! I'm sorry, but if there are 3 people out there that resign because they can't do a few weeks away from home, well then that says something. (hence why I said they must have a very rich hubby to fall back on)
It will not be forever, if you have to "sacrifice" a few weeks every month or two, then why is that so bad? The problem comes from guy & girls with a silver spoon mentality that have never had to wash their own dishes, let alone do their own laundry. No one is asking you to screw yourself over, or work for free (even thought the 777 crew are having the time of their lives all for free!) Would it not be fair to say, wow CX has given me +1.5 years of free money, maybe I could help them out for a few weeks until all this settles down, if that takes 1 year or 2, so be it. It will not be forever, rosters, time off, normal flying will return.
There are those who did actually sacrifice a lot to get into CX, like the Saffers on contract away from home for 2 months plus on rotations in crap countries in shocking accommodations, military pilots who are away just as long if not longer etc, they did it for 10x longer time periods. It's not the end of the world and a 747 rating is incredible to have.
And no I'm not a company man or a commie from the Mainland, but I do hate silver spooners who moan.
