Honestly, the uninformed are always the loudest. An empty vessel makes the loudest noise. A few FACTS for those who are interested in FACTS. Heck, we wouldn't want the truth to get in the way of a good story would we?? How about the fact that you don't pay for, nor do you salary sacrifice your 777 endorsement. Nor is there a 'training' salary. Taking that into account, it would put you in a similar bracket to a Jet* A320/330 or VB737 driver who DOES salary sacrifice the endorsement out of their relatively higher annual salary.. As for 'paying' for your meal or getting a discount. It's a full service airline, you idiots. So NO ONE pays for meals! No, I'm NOT going to VAustralia, no I HAVEN'T applied, but I do know someone well who has applied and has all the relevant information. So why don't do you all get your stories straight before spouting off about issues of which you cleary know little!
