Be of good cheer!
Not sure whether you're flight crew, cabin crew or what, but the bond issue presupposes that you fly? 'The Bonded Trolley Dolly'? There's a quick title for gangster novel?
Anyway, that doesn't matter; it's actually the same in any job. It always takes six months to bed down and a year to feel comfortable. The trick is not to let the bloody first six months grind you down to the point where you heave it all in before you've had a chance to reap the rewards of your perseverance.
Fight crew, for example, usually have to work extremely hard on any new type of aircraft in the beginning, that is unless they're one of those really irritating whizz kids, and they sometimes have other problems of a rather more serious nature. Once they've settled down it all becomes a matter of speedy routine and hard pressure work such as setting up the cockpit in winter becomes so easy that it's usually done for the next sector before the aircraft is on chocks after the last.
It will surely all come right and you will find yourself saying almost exactly these words above to a newbie in the future. Well, perhaps you won't be able to put the point across with the same dexterous use of words and phrases that drip from this particular pen, few could!
Steady up old girl and stay the course! Oh yes, Good Luck!
