I'll tell you about them. You will work your arse off for them. You will bend over backwards to make that crappy little operation work. You will take untold amounts of abuse from insect pasengers who don't understand why you can't get there 200kgs of luggage on the plane. Then you will take some more from nice pax when they can't get their 15kgs on because your clever managers have overbooked the flight. You will be out there rain, hail or snow. You will get wet outside the plane standing in the rain. You will get wet inside the plane because they all leak. You will have the luxury of a roster that comes out two weeks in advance then watch as every shift on your roster gets changed. You will be expected to attend staff meetings in your own time, out of the goodness of your own heart. You will also be expected to come in on your one or two days off and wash aeroplanes, out of the goodness of your own heart, and not get paid. Because you like working for free, and you don't like money. You will be expected to do the office persons work for her sometimes, because she flys the planes for you sometimes. You will be expected to complete 12 hours work in 11 hours because thats all the duty your allowed to log. You will have no life outside work, cause if you get called in on your day off you can't have been at the trots on the turp the night before! You will be sometimes expected to pay for company equipment or petrol out of your own pocket because they pay you so much. They will reimburse you some months later after you have missed rent (and a few meals). You wont be able to hold down a relationship and if you are married your wife will leave you for a Kitchen Hand. You will take a 3.3% pay cut every year. Dont expect a reference when you leave because they are too busy to write one, but they will gladly write a letter to Air Nelson for you explaining how you are not available for a groundcourse because you have only been there 16 months. To them your scum, an hour Wh0re as McKenzie once put it. You will however at the end of it come out with a fantastic job flying big jets around the sky one day and getting paid to do it, there is a few of us there now. Because you will have endured the hardest flying, the most pressure, and the least amount of money in your career. That place will mould you into a Hard mother so you will be able to handle anything that comes your way. No one hands it to you, you get there yourself, you do the flying, you deal with the s*#t, you make it work. All they do is give you an opportunity, but hey, the world is full of those. I made it, and it's worth it!
P.S. Could write 10 pages on the Chateau Royal. The Brotherhood.
