V-SFO
I guess that as much as you are entitled to criticise the comments of other posters, it is the entitlement of other individuals to have their own opinion.
I'm glad that after 8 months with VA you speak so highly of the operation.
In that 8 months how many trips have you actually done?
You criticise others with "nothing to do with an airline" yet your vast experience as a Long Haul pilot allows you to tell us how easy the job is.
Sometimes it's just better to STFU.
I genuinely hope that the operation flourishes but your enthusiasm might be challenged a bit in the future when the accountants start demanding their pound of flesh.
I can assure you that your week long rest at home and the 50 hours in downtown LA will take a hit when VA have more than ONE destination.
As for the "easiest job in the world" - does your Captain sleep much on these flights?
By all means enjoy the 'FANTASTIC' times but I would suggest that you're in for a very rude awakening.
