Yes it is a bit hit or miss with the crew. As I said before the way the crew get along with us is totally up to the ISM. Generally the crew take their lead from the ISM. If we are flying with a local ISM then basically forget any after hours fun with the crew.
"leave my crew alone, they are tooo tired" blah blah blah.
And don't give me the standard answer "they can't afford to buy drinks for us" .........because most guys will shout them.
p.s. the Japanese girls sure do like a beer
Still, maybe It's better for my marriage in the long run!! and wallet
