Fair point actually Cargo Boy. The old argument about you are only worth what you can negotiate works both ways. Its also true that you only get what you pay for and, at the moment, SIA Cargo are paying for less so they get less from me.
There are also a lot of very talented individuals who are being less than forthcoming when it comes to applying for training and management, preferring to spend as much time away from the office as possible.
