Dubya, Think about it, no one sits in the back seat for 14hrs.
The attitude you've shown in your post really proves my point and highlights your lack of understanding of long haul ops.
Except for some recent hires do you really think we are all 500hrs hires? But I do agree on one point, there is no comparison between what you do and VA ops. There is no reason to go to
VB or PB except make room for people like you.
Which probably explains why VIPA with its roots in
VB is happy to F@#K over current VA crew.
The only reason there is a problem within VA is because of
VB Captains desire to be promoted into VA beyond the scope of the deed and
VB FOs coming across outside the deed.
