KATO,
Do you know me? I did't realise I was so obviously apparently intelligent. I'm usually very happy to tell people I'm as thick as two short planks. You on the other hand are obviously not intelligent otherwise you would have realised one of the things I have already moaned about IS lack of duty pay, cause you have to have duty to get duty pay. However if you did know me you'd know that there is not much I find more exciting than a night down route in a really nice hotel. But that's another story.
As for me insulting wannabes, I find that amusing. To get from being a wannabe to being where it's at is a long hard slog. Even if you do it in record quick time you're still talking years of hard work and hardship. When you get to the end, you sort of hope for an improvement. Which is where you are probably at now - waiting for improvement in your current situation. If you read posts in many of the forums on pprune you will find that many pilots, cabin crew, atcos and more are all looking for improvement. That is why there is talk of strikes by all of the above groups on various threads at this very moment. So why is it so bad that I want my own very little bit of improvement? And when you finally get there I hope it is the bed of roses you are looking for. If it is, it's probably because someone ahead of you smoothed the way.
