babymetroboy,
One of my best friends and others i know fly for AO and there is definetley no "us v's them" regarding cabin and tech crew - they all stay in the same hotel and hang out together etc
I have heard many stories and they are all good about the tech crew, they are happy to be associated with AO as many of them were seconded from QF.
Actually happened to have a have a few beers with some of their tech crew not long ago and I am most impressed with their attitude towads cabin crew.
