When I joined Cathay a decade and a half or so ago, I was worried about all the long sleeved Pom's I'd heard rumours about.
To this day, they English have been gentleman thru and thru.. Yes, perhaps the odd one, but that is true of any nationality.
By and large they aren't the problem.
Whether it be a discussion with local pilots, or expats or as mentioned even Aussies.. there is a singular type that is disliked throughout for their nonsense.
I didn't even have to look at the crew list to know it as a Aussie.
Sadly, it's that apparent.
So whomever you wish to blame, the fact that universally one group stand out as the problem to all others, speaks to the issue.
