it would actually be great for us all to have the opportunity of doing a bit of swapping bases/types so we all have better career prospects. I personally have never done longhaul, and whilst a move to LGW or MAN would be a bit much family wise, a move to LUT would be manageable. I have discounted the chance of getting on the 787, but maybe a 737/767 or 757/767 rating out of LUT would be possible?
Giving people what they want makes for a happier and more productive airline. The new managment will hopefully listen to this. I have always hated the us and them culture so when TUI PLC starts in September I wont be one of them promoting that philosophy.
