Yes, I think you may have a point there!
enginesuck
I am begining to think that you cannot read what is being written here. Just refer me to one post where the aircrew are, according to you anyway.....'laying it on thick about how bloody great they might be'
I, for one, have never said that, and I can't find anyone else on here who has said anything remotely like that either.
I'm delighted your last det' was a good one, and you got on with your aircrew in the right and proper way, and I trust they felt the same. I no longer have that aircrew/groundcrew problem with my current employer. They recognise (rightly or wrongly) that the Pilot is the person ultimately responsible for the lives and safety of all those on board. (In my case, something usually approaching 400 people) I don't think I'm self-centrered or self-opinionated, too arrogant or otherwise really, but if I say I want to have a 'fry-up' for my breakfast, and a curry for my lunch and sandwiches for an evening meal, then my employers make sure I get them, and whats more, I don't get my FO, Chf Purser, Cabin Services Director, any of the Hosties or indeed anyone in the company moaning at what I effectively get for free, and bleating about it!
We all get perks of one sort or another in life, if you are not happy with the ones you get, then the answer is but a simple one - join a team that does get the right perks for you!
Just about to leave for HK, so talk to you all next week.
