Well boredcounter, some love it more than others by the sound of it. I actually think some of these other guys would rather not do this job at all. To them its pure hassle...nothing else. I had a crewing manager say to me once Quote : 'Well who the hell wants to work in crewing anyway?' Suppose he had a point really.
We will never equate to other positions in this industry. Our worth is purely indicated by the poor salaries paid.
