Hi Lucy.....
I think the interest free loan thing is for a Travel Card for PT....???? I think its to help when you first start/arrive from oz with QFUK.....but dont quote me on that
Having limited destinations isnt ideal but I suppose it can only grow from here. Galley FM reports new destiantions all the time. Until I am on one of these "new" destinations I'll believe it.
Everyone has there thoughts and I would assume that one day Qantas must want a London/US route to finally allow pax to fly round the world on QF. So NY or LA maybe??? But only the fat cats really know.
The other day I heard about Dallas, China and even direct flights to Perth....
As we get such short slip times in BKK and Sin, it doesnt really matter where we fly. The time given really doesnt allow you much time to enjoy the "lifestyle" that flying is meant to offer. Most other airlines allow 2 nights in both ports. Our HK was trialed as a 3 days trip which was criminal. It is such a hard flight, especially the return sector. This didnt last very long thankfully
One good thing about it is the 4 on 3 off pattern. It kinda allows you to have some kind of routine in both your work and personal life. You know exactly what to expect from each flight, operate on the same aircraft type and can plan your life around work...and to some degree work around your social life.
Dont bother with a car if you decide to live in London. PT is great and traffic can be terrible. Quite often a short distance is better travelled on a bus/tube than driving. Plus our salary doesnt allow for everything........
paying rent/mortgage/eating/clothing/car/PT/Travelling/socialising and saving......somethings have to give and I would start with the car.
It is a great place to work and for the time I stay I plan to enjoy every minute. I would love to transfer on this job back to QF Aus but this is but a dream
