Ahh well at least the airlines are recruiting...
American Airlines filing for bankruptcy is a bit of a shocker.

I suppose that 1% of a lot is a lot
and 1% of sweet FA is... ergh ..sweet FA.

My point is that having bitten the zero pay rise over 2 years whilst all bills sky rocket, especially fuel as despite a briefing given by Manning several years ago concerning geographical stability, many, many servicemen are forced to drive long distances to maintain family ties. ....and rising fuel costs added to deleted routine claims and allowances are seeing quality of life dissappear down the pan. PC Plod and my CS friends still get pretty awesome allowances including good hire cars and the best hotels without the subsequent scrutiny that makes you feel like a thief.

For those that work for what they earn Respect
For most of us the can-do attitude prevails, but for how long?
