Better still. Lets run a competition for the public.
The AOA buys the tickets, and the winners get to fly everywhere with one crewmember for a month. That way they would really get to feel what it's like. Rules of the competition
1 You may not sleep on the flight
2 You must be prepared to return to HK after min rest following a flight to N America or Europe
3 You must realize that when transiting through HK from Bankok on the way to Nagoya you will not have sufficient time to get home and see your family.
4 You must be ready to arrive at the airport 1and a half hours prior to departure
5 You must be prepared to spend only 12 hours at home between patterns this includes travelling time
6 You must be prepared to arrive at the airport thinking that you are going to overnight in Tokyo, only to find that you have been rescheduled to go to Los Angeles and then turn around and fly back on the same aircraft, seems a waste doesn't it?
7 You must be prepared to travel on weekends public holidays Christmas, No we are sorry the family cannot come with you the aircraft is full.
If you are prepared to do that then please enter our little competition. I don't think that you could give first prize away>>
But then heck we do that month in month out
