Unhappy JB Close but no cigar

Wish it was just a bad night leading to a storm in a tea cup.

VP8, love to know where you work, if you do indeed do it for the money.

As JB rightly presumed, why the hell do we work in (in my case Ops) Ops/Crewing.

I work in European shorthaul, and have done since 89. I have adapted to major change within the industry. Outside the normal 9-5, I have full Commercial and Operational control of the beast. Sure (hmmmmmmm) commercial are on the end of the phone, but.

Where else, for the salary we get paid, can anyone spend the cash we DECIDE to spend, and earn what we do?

Who else has to have the the all round understanding of their company that we do?

Who else has to have the all round understanding of their equipment, from PC to Aircraft, that we do?

In a nutshell, I am Ops, Commercial, Crewing (eight hours a day and line manager outside said hours), Nav and ATC liason and trouble shooter, general catering and handling dogs body outside of 9-5.......... and all for 21K.

My question, where else could this happen?..............................
