wtf, you got a valid point with the JFK flight.
But did you realize that you missed out on the posted VIE layover?? Free 5star accomodation and 14hrs overtime pay, c'mon! Oh, and I am sure NO ONE bidded for that flight
anyway!..
Money makes the world go round, and EK as well. Maybe we need to stop complaining about working too hard then, since there are still too many underworked, "helpful" company- minded guys out in DXB??
