guvnor - last week you recommended not to buy BA shares when they were around £1.15, within a few hours they had risen to £1.50 (today, 179p). I read you say CSD/Purser responsibilty comparable to FO - what on earth are you talking about?
I've read your posts over a period of time, and quite rightly are entitled to your own opinion. However, what really grates is that you speak in a tone that implies everything you say is a fact; and mainly, what I have noticed is that in fact you speak complete drivel. Your constant attack on pilots (and at the present time, quite distateful) underscores your joalousy and undermines your objectivity. Finally, the fact that you obviously spend your whole life on this forum, indicates that you are a seriously deranged freak. Suggestion - harness your bitterness and envy into a more worthy cause - I bid you farewell.
Desk Pilot - can I get the managers to work at the times I keep puttiing my body through and see if they need the extra days off? Longhaul flying is detrimental to my bodies health, I had some time off last year for an operation and the difference in well-being at the end of that was immense (no more feeling as if i'm on another planet, no more constant colds}. We fly to the hotspots of the world and we are the final barrier to any disaster (reponsibility and accountability) in an environment that does not always allow a meeting to resolve. All things considered I think that our pay is not very good (140k is the few, not the norm). I know many, many people earning more than myself. Finally, safety is a priority for everyone, and particurlary now, many of the public are petrified of flying - I think that they would like to know they have a couple of well paid professionals trying their best to get from A to B, not some monkey on wages they could get driving a cab instead.
Again guvnor - i've never in my life met a person with intelligence who can't see the vast differnce between our job and the cabin crew - what does that say about your intelligence?
