Still a steady stream of takers, that's the sad part. If the individual can't even control their urges to fly a jet at any cost what hope have you of a concerted effort to negotiate better.
So what are you suggesting people do? Sit in the RHS of a airline affiliated regional having their loyalty used against them?? Or go to Jetstar for 1-2 years then have the choice or working either in the Middle East, Europe, North America or Australia??
