I'm just coming up on 16 years since I left (1985 - 96 @ EK/PH/WT*/EK/LOS/EK) and as some of the previous posters have said; I have some great memories (and some sh!t ones) and absolutely no desire to go back. I take my hat off to the people still working there under crap conditions. I once had a very robust discussion with the General Manager wrt travel policy (BA direct vs. LH via FRA) and was told in no uncertain terms that if I didn't like it I should piss off and the only way it would change is when they couldn't crew the place. That has to be 20+ years ago and situation appears to be the same (and always will be).
New subject: NEO - quit slumming it and get back to work!
