what is the obsession with flying???? there is not a secretary or assistant secretary of any union in this country that is still on the tools??????
They are doing a seconded role for the length of their term of office.. And they are available 7 days a week 24 hours a day and carry the emergency phone as well....
they dont do 23 hours a week like the rest of us either . Personally i would rather fly its easier than 3 hours in traffic a day dealing with assholes like us constantly whinging and moaning...worse than any passengers i have ever met come to think of it
