Lightbulb VVIP Interviews

Are you for real???
VVIP Operations are known to be very "let's get up and go somewhere today.... if they don't like the weather, shopping or done business/ had lunch with friends it's time to go asap!!!"
Destinations - oh please with a 777 you can go a vvvvv long way and trust me when they want to go from the sandpit to Brazil, here there and everywhere they will. Couldn't tell you how many you'll have on board in your Op, if it's completely private?
You're not chained to a hotel room, but it's not very funny when you've got dry cleaning, laundry put in, gone out for the day or whatever, then when the call to be in the lobby in 40 minutes, got to get back, shower, dress and pack... not to mention get the catering organised.
Most Ops expect you to keep flight arrangements very discreet, so how the heck do you think you know when you'll be in London, Paris, Nice, etc??
Duty time is exactly that, if you sit and wait for a week and it's somewhere nice lucky you, but it's not that easy to say what you'll get, so be very open minded and easy going that way you'll love the job
Good luck again
