Well said Visionary! I think most people are tired of the constant battering to their self esteem that is dished out in various disguises by our disfunctional "Managers".
So-called "Swire Princes" and their weak, grovelling underlings have ruined a once-great Airline and have set accountants up against Flight Crew. All that matters is penny pinching and belt tightening schemes that just irritate and frustrate everyone, including passengers. While pilots try to operate efficiently, others squander millions of dollars on unsuccessful gambling exploits that are not even explained, let alone accounted for by those responsible. Leaving seems to be a great relief for some and as the Visionary said, DEC slots in Jet2 or Etihad/Qatar seem to be a suitable alternative to this professional "abuse".
