SH is a different kettle of fish to LH
All FPP cadets will join SH, and in all likelyhood they will be there for AT LEAST 5yrs. I was around during the industrial unrest, and although there has definitely been an improvement, I think this is mainly attributed to the mix of ex BMI crew, who incidentally go out of there way to pop up to the fligh deck for a chat. Often this doesn't go down well with legacy crew!
Overall, there has been a marked difference in the last year, however to go as far as to say
With the sad events of the IA behind us I can categorically say that the atmosphere on the aircraft is possibly the best it has been for many, many years
is purely a LH view, and not one typical of SH.
