Just wondering what bad experiences you have had with the, and we quote, "ops/crewing muppets"??.
Have you ever worked in an operations environment dealing with in excess of 50 flights a day, all Long Haul? With your back to the wall, an ever ageing fleet and given your 'personal feelings' that shout out 'I'm uncooperative, you should try it.
You have one flight to deal with (probably as a cruise pilot), two if you take the return into consideration, You get paid £35'000 min plus xtras, a night in a 5 star hotel, 16 women and 4 days off afterwards.
We get £20'000 at a push, have 50 flights to deal with, the few women we have are hardly spring chickens, NO hotel, NO Xtras, NO Allowances.
Oh, and we don't get the pleasure of arguing about the limp lettuce in the choice of 10 crew sandwiches (before the starter and hot bits arrive). We have to make our own sarnies at 4.00 am, in order to get to work before 6.00am. (I believe 4 early starts in a 7 day period for you renders you useless ......try 6 or 7 starts before 6.00am and throw in a few nights in a 10 day period)
I wouldn't want to bore you with all the trivia, but, if you would like an ops visit, just ask.......we won't bite...MUCH.
