parabellum,
I am the one you left out but not for much longer.
What exactly are some of Cx's and SIA's attributes that we should be emulating?
If you really knew what I know about SIA you wouldn't let your dog fly with them (not from a flight crew perspective), but that is another thread all together.
They have had real easy far too long but the low cost revolution is here. If they continue to operate with their heads buried in the sand, thinking they are so good, the Pan AM, Sabena, Swiss fate awaits them.
I have absolutely no problem working for an airline that puts safety and standards above all. The one thing that really pisses me off about CX is that they rule by intimidation and fear and there is no room for such BS in aviation these days. I thought I left that crap behind 15 years ago when I moved to Europe. People are afraid to speak up in case they fail their next check or even upgrade.
What the F
k does speaking your mind have to do with flying an aircraft?
