R4P, you seem to have the enthusiasm but you made a few errors in your post.
You stated that the AKL crew work hard, NOPE, some do the vast majority are lazy with and attitude that astounds me!
Its well known joke among crew, 1 BKK crew equals 4 AKL.
R4P you seem still motivated, tell me exactly why that is! why do they have this disrespectful attitude and this desire to bludge.
From what I gather the interview process is long and strenuous, why ruin it like that!.
Well at least the visitors in SYD are aware of the AKL crew attitude and they are determined to do something about it, its easy to fire and replace over there!
