It's so typical that there are always people (and quite a few of them!) who benchmark themselves against the lowest standard outthere. Rather than aspiring to much better T&C's that ultimately will benefit companies in the long run.
It just feeds that awful managerial monster called "..dont like it, leave..."
Aspire to work like other Nothern European carriers, that way your job will be more respected and ultimately will give you the credit(s) you deserve....
