Thanks Dave,
That is really good to know. I personally don't expect to be rewarded but just recently I have felt a bit unappreciated by my employer.
I'm sure that they do still appreciate us, it's just that with everyone going on about MF and how special they are and how awful all the rest of us are it gets a bit depressing.
I nearly always go out with our flight crew and I have just had two great trips when all the crew went out, pilots, non strikers and strikers and we all had a lovely time.
Thanks for your nice post.
