Of course not... we care about how much we get paid, how much we're at home with our friends and/or families and how much we can put in a pension pot to escape the crippling sleep deprivation as early as we can.
Applying for any airline, let alone a flag carrier involves a great dral of effort... can't blame people for trying to get some information first to decide if it's all worth it
Oh the crippling sleep deprivation please. Long haul is what most want until they've done it for two years and then they moan and groan about jet lag. ALL legacy carriers are excellent employment opportunities and you appear to feel you can pick and choose which one you'd like to work for? Apply to all of them and take the first offer.
