I agree entirely, which is why I am really disappointed to see the degradation occuring in longhaul.
Quite frankly, crap pay and conditions combined with the personal sacrifice that comes with long haul (like constant jet lag, and if you thinks thats nothing, you wait, missing christmas, school hols, birthdays, easter, weddings, anniversary's etc etc) will make the job totally not worth it.
The guys new to it will think all their christmas' have come at once, until christmas does.

9. Agreed
10. Agreed, we are dealing with the hard done by's (TN ex dispute) vs The silver spooners (1960 vintage cadets, been in QF since they were 16) Neither are very smart about the future..
