Yen Men Are Dead

Get with it folks, once the yen climbed above 70 against the $A the "yen men" myth died.
It was a myth and really only centred around 20 to 30 crew.The rest of the people who did these trips were either language speakers or those who really enjoyed the cultural experience.
A lot of these people left with the last VR package.
The term also referred to those direct sectors up and back.
So Sonique how could the jumpseats be so warm...turbulence perhaps?
You should also realise that there are offshore based crew predominantly in Y/C thes days.
NRT/CNS are NOT now done by SYD based LHCC
