Sid (and others), I think this "you earn /I earn stuff" has been done to death and frankly it's getting boring. There's now a real risk of alienating some of the least militant Cabin crew, the one's who at the moment are willing to engage in constructive debate on this forum. If we're not careful we're only going to be debating with the likes of ALurker, PiB, etc..oh sorry, they don't do debate.
In short, please give it a rest.
