Also why do you care if I have plans for something new? You know nothing about my life or where I am in it. My opinion is still more valid than you who has offered nothing but wierd anti J2 attacks
Oh dear, Princess, looks like you’re the one getting offended.
Put it this way, if an Airbus pilot is doing 360 hours a year in 5 years time, there will be no airline left. Doing 360 hours a year on a knackered old paid off 757 fleet that costs nothing to keep on the ground is one thing. Doing it on an expensive brand new Airbus fleet is another altogether. Those planes will have to fly all year round.
Nothing anti-J2 here. Just being realistic. Good luck in the Desert, looks like you’ll need it.
