Training is so enjoyable and "non punitive".

Looking forward to the Christmas bonus this year!

I enjoy the nature so much here, I'd be here even if I was paid less.

Road users are so polite.

Seniority counts for everything!

My managers always treat me with dignity and respect. Furthermore, in all of our interactions I can expect fair, honest treatment in a just culture. I am assured of this.

I'm sad to see the freighter trips no longer on the rosters, the fun of making your own coffee during top bid totally outweighs the 99% chance of roster disruption and 9 ADs..

Flight Ops DSVP & SVP are stellar characters. One can see that these fellas spent their careers in a unionized environment. You can count on them to stand-up to their principles.
They would never defend any silly or arbitrary rule that was imposed from upper management.

Our "enry" even sent me a letter saying I should look at it as an opportunity to consolidate my experience, when I had to go sit in the right hand side for 18 months. Hell, I even got to keep my benefits.

Must remember to tell all my mates how great this place is.

EK really takes care of us, every year our salary goes up with at least the inflation. Thats good otherwise we would loose money every year. That would be really bad.

Think I'll play golf instead and go another time.
