John Barnes You are of course quite correct in what you say. Why go to a new oufit where you have to be watcherd over like a hawk when you can stay in SIA and have the same old mates checking you out in the Sim and on the Line.
These old timers can bid for A340-500 and just do two LA's a month and then when the A380 arrives spend the first few years going to London and Sydney. Nice cushy lifestyle. Who wants to live in Taipei anyway?? I certainly would not want to unless the money was exceptional. Is it???????????
