Bus429........In answer to your question,probably an extremely valuable and highly qualified professional who has normally put in years of graft to be treated like a nobody more and more these days. I should know as my present company will not even let me near business class in or out of uniform, on duty or not. It is indeed a sorry world but there are still some honourable airlines left who treat professionals like professionals. Actually it is not normally the airline that counts but instead, the integrity and character (or stabilty)of its staff!
Good luck with those ID90's and let people not forget, they are not free tickets but a hard won consession awarded instead of a salary increase!!!
