Quite right Glamgirl. I don't hate cabin crew at all, but I have noted that the 'you hate crew' allegation is levelled whenever crew can no longer argue against the facts. Nor is it levelled at me exclusively. It's regularly levelled against other pilots, managers and anyone at Wateside who isn't crew ("they must have failed the interview to be crew" is the allegation that goes hand in hand with that one). Nor, presumably much to MissMs dismay, am I worried about my pension. Certainly no more than anyone else with sound financial acumen would be. As it happens my accrued benefits are comfortably below the PPFs upper threshold, so I'd lose no more proportionally than most crew would, despite their oft stated desire to see the fund collapse in order to get one up on the pilots.
