there has been nothing but change in LH since QF went private. the bad news is that we got infiltrated by many S/H people (which under the original QF employment rules would have never made the cut in LH) who brought along a culture of dobbing, laziness,challenging seniors and authority.
A bit of nostalgie when i remember we used to respect flight directors, seniors and got the job done with every one working together and of the plane socialised and had a lot more fun then.
as for pilots i rarley have any problem with any of them, but as in CC there are a few who slipt through the net.
