In general ActiveLurker is right…there were adventures to he had abroad, and once upon a time great pay and COS. CX has fallen a long way from the ‘A’ scale, EK and the others have demonstrated the complete disregard they have for seniority, loyalty, utility. Not so much anymore the swanning around in a linen suit at the Jockey Club on six days off.
As far as high tax goes…it is vexing indeed, but name me one english speaking non-****hole that doesn’t have high tax.
