BW, I wouldn't want to put words into any poster's mouth but I do see a consistent theme.
Whether people like it or not JMC man has consistently aimed his [?] thoughts at the average line guy or cabin crew considering employment.
Any of you can use the search engine at night to check for yourself. It is an unfortunate facet of this forum that it is dominated by those who think the airline world is a sexy business. It appears to have a significant preponderance of those who just love airlines and air transport.
JMC Man seems consistently to address those actually feeding and clothing their families in front line jobs. To establish a little emotional distance from this thread may I suggest you study the thread on Jetmagic - do you see any significant input from those in airside jobs or simply the disappointment of airline business fans?
Your mileage may vary,
Regards
Rob
