keeperboy - I don't feel superior, but I do have first hand experience of being crew and I'm only telling people how things were for me....little ol me.
I see you are a devoted crew member, but don't push people down that don't agree with your rosy vision.It's not rosy at 37,000 ft. The benefits you describe are minimal ( is a benefit waiting at an airport on staff standby wondering when you'll get home? Or worse sticking out like a thumb as staff because you are dressed to the nines compared to all other passengers!) As for the money it is extremely variable. If you were to have a month off, your salary would be pennies whereas in other jobs the money remains the same. Could you afford to have a month off? I bet not!
Let's just agree to differ. I respect your opinion.
