Hey boys and girls, Ive been a crewing assistant, crewing officer, ops controller and now fly for a living. I used to think crew had the life of riley.....big money...loads of time off etc etc. Believe you me, its not like that on the other side of the fence.....its hard work.......
Now, where in this post is he comparing his present job with his previous roles? He just says that he had a different view on the job of flight crew when he was on the other side. I'm pretty sure that it would be the same if a pilot would go to work at crewing or ops. You don't know what it's like until you experience it. To make it completely clear:
I mean that both ways!

What an exciting concept that must be, Pilots actually understanding what goes into constructing a roster!
At the end of the day, all aircrew are interested in is their own social life, whats in it for me, how much can I 'screw' the company for and have no interest in what other considerations have to be taken into account when producing the roster.
I do my level best to limit the imput of Pilots into a roster, and only allow those that have a vested interest (i.e. training manager).
To me it sounds like you have developed a grudge against flight crew in your 20 years in the business. This is why I brought up the mirror.
