GMWs, your er, um.. how do I put it.... "dislike" of pilots' wives
I never said she was a pilot's wife... just the wife of a staff member.

in my observation, the women seem to have that bit more of a capacity for drama than the guys... certainly doesn't mean the men don't throw the occasional hissy fit but majority of problems I've seen unfortunately seem o stem from the Mrs of the staff traveller, not the traveller themselves...

(And before you all jump on me, I'm also a woman so I'm speaking from the p.o.v. of the 'fairer sex'. Yes, we are very capable of drama when we want to be)

I had actually considered mentioning in my last post how the flight deck wives particularly of late have been good on staff tickets... no fussing, appreciative of everything, nice to the female staff (some in the past seem to have gone out of their way to be 'difficult' but not to the male staff on same flight)

Perhaps a new generation who realise that staff travel is a nice perk and don't want to ruin it for anyone else? I didn't include that because I didn't want to stir up a debate but since you mentioned it...
