Well, of the 2550 odd pilots at EK I only see the same few faces here SI...

But then again I must be A) Office type or B) Justifying my move here (Alconguin Crusader)...

FYI neither - A) an office just doesn't 'fly' that well with me if you'll pardon the pun and B) how I run my life is up to me - I'll respect your POV AC but you are being a bit of a **** (c something t) by trying to tell ME how to live MY life

You all who moan show us somewhere currently BETTER Could it be LCC in Europe running 4 sectors of slot-delays and de-icing? Or could it be a US 'major' and sit a reserve line on a DC9 for 5 years? (that would be the pits!!!!)

Indeed, things here could be better. We have been screwed totally with the overtime as Don says Leave issues, days off in a row, DEWA (although I haven't yet talked to anyone who's paid towards a big bill) - but you have to measure this against what you'll find elsewhere. And I respectfully submit that that will be;

SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT - but from the bottom of a new seniority list
