I'd like to see good wages for everybody none the less, which the BA cabin crew currently have, so it leaves me wondering.

Not that I'm a huge fan of Walsh, but this is a bit out of hand. If it was my future, my career, my retirement, vs. the greed of a few people with an overinflated idea of their importance, I'd do what I had to do. I guess I've just met too many FA's who view themselves to be senior in the aircraft to flight crew, seriously, and have the attitude to go with it. I still get asked by cabin crew 'How do I ever get along without them? Who cooks my meals? Who does the doors?', and it's posed as a serious question. No offence, as I really liked a lot of the crew I worked with, but it is way more relaxed on a freighter, which just makes it more enjoyable for me as a pilot. But I got into this to fly airplanes, not because I whatched too many episodes of "Mile High". Again, no offense, but life as a pilot is just easier, better, and less complicated in freight.

God bless the freighter.
