TGIG, made I larf that did
ref the bunks - you betcha!! I can do hospital corners, apple pie, dead end (they were a favourite for the long sleeve silk jimmie-jam brigade), and for some of the nice old time skippers, an extra blanket.
Cut my teeth on bunk making on the classic, when they mainly did ULH to NAmerica and Europe in the 80's. Was the most enjoyable bit of the flight, especially as that often consisted of 5 hours in 1 seat, a whole hour off to yourself, then 5 hours in the other seat, and the last 30 mins was your own.
And to think some young lads today have a bit of a sulk or a whine when you split the aussie flights 4/4
.
Ah the youth of today, dunno they're born, but I digress.....
And so back to the thread, as for the expat allowances issue -
simply put so they can finally understand: "you are not, so you can't have"
Chances of Mr Swire changing that - Buckley's.
Sorry about that ol' boy, brgds.
