Balance,
I misunderstood your point re: leaving AIPA - my mistake (thanks Keg!)
As I read your second post you seem to articulate your argument a lot better. I interpreted your first post as a table thumping exercise (was it not?) and - to be honest - I am sick to death of hearing crew venting their spleens at bars but not making any approaches to AIPA. I think we are on pretty much the same wavelength here.
Fartsock, I am aware that I live in a "fantasy land" on the -400 but I like to think that I keep perspective of the bigger picture. I don't for a second doubt that life on the 767 is very different. Also, do you think I am happy about my promotional opportunities being shafted by the current situation?
Surely, however you must agree with the last paragraph of my first post?! If not then you are being unrealistic.
In any case, this is probably not a discussion that should continue in great depth on a public forum such as this.
