Wish I'd kept the poster as well, but it's long gone.
That said, as well as being able to take the p**s out of ourselves, in those days we actually had pride in our job, pride in the airline we worked for and happy to be part of a team. I do remember having "discussions" with Management over certain issues, but generally I would say there was a lot of mutual respect between the staff and Management as together, we all made the team work well. Those days airlines were run by airline people who may have had accountants to 'help' them run the business, now it seems that accountants run the business and 'reluctantly' have to have airline staff to help them. Such a shame that it has all come down to this. Experience counts for nowt now and I'm really glad to be retired now. At least I still have my memories of how things used to be.
