900 hours? Not for me it isn't

Lates to Earlies? Love it, gives me a (sort of) day off in the middle

Constant change to rosters? It is an airline we work for, not a supermarket where I never got any "roster changes"

Positioning at companies behest? Again, if the Airline needs you at another base, whats the problem?

Poor crew meals: Never had a nice meal on an aircraft EVER

No final salary pension: No Final salary pension in any industry mate!

No PHI: Buy it yourself if you want it

Poor moral? Not on my flights mate! I like to muck in with the rest of them and make it a nice day at work

No Team spirit? see above

No respect? I still get called sir or captain...not that I need it to feed my ego!

If I knew then what I know now......I would not change a thing! Still glad I worked all those hours at Tesco on overtime to fund my ATPL get to where I am today

By the way Man flex, I work at the same company as you!!!!
