Worked Less for More Pay

Flap10, how the hell would you know how hard I worked and how much I got paid? I worked a bloody lot harder for a lot less in my pre-CX employment. On the L1011, which was the first CX type on which I was employed and of which we had only nine, we all worked often as the average sectors were short. Bangkok-Bombay was about the longest sector. Three day breaks were rare. If you consider that we were slaves then you have no idea of what slavery is. We worked relatively often and enjoyed what the company provided, at least the majority of us did. That is not sticking up for management Flap10, it is just that I believe we probably had a different mindset and a sense of company loyalty which it is apparent some today do not.
