oicur, it wasn't me that introduced the concept that VAus wasn't the top of the ladder, it was airbusa330. If I'd been O/S then I may see it as being the 'top' in order to be home but then that's inconsistent with airbus's comments about 'getting on' to the ladder. So let's be blunt and cut it down to the very basics. Airbusa330 reckons this VAus gig is a great way of getting on the ladder. I think it's sad that a long haul 777 gig is so bad that it's perceived by many- including airbusa330 by all accounts- as the first step. I reckon it's a sad indictment on the industry. Do you disagree? Do you think it's a great thing that many people see a LH 777 gig as a 'start' in the jet jobs?
Genex, normally I'd put some thought into the response but given your demonstrated tendency of not responding when shown to be inconsistent or simply wrong then most thinking readers of PPRUNE will understand why I haven't bothered with you this time.
