truth seeker??

well i wish i felt the same way.

i too have been here for a while now and have not had the same "fun" that you seem to have experienced.

socially i have found the downroute parts of the job to be awful. generally the crew have treated me well, but you know what?, when you sit next to a pilot who does not talk to you for 5 hours and if he does it is answers in "yes" or "no" fashion, how are you supposed to take it. i have spent a load of time by myself, because when we hit the ground, most of the time they "have something to do" or " have friends to catch up with" or just blatantly "would rather drink with someone else" . all very polite, but i get the message loud and clear.
when back in hkg things are better, but i have to say i have caught myself more than once looking over my shoulder when in the bars late at night.
the money is ok, but hkg is an expensive place, as a s/o you have to say it is ok, but i wish i had have waited. also with all the virus stuff that is the talk of the moment, i would rather not be here.

awaiting the barrage again
