You're not trying to tell me there are no 15-18 hour slips or stand-over days any more are you? Mind you I suppose the lifestyle does depend on one's bidding seniority.
Mrs W says she misses the 5 star hotels too. Doesn't much like having to slum it in a 4 star most of the time when we go places. Can't seem to negotiate a good discount anywhere these days since I don't have access to BA crew rates any more!
