bro choppers r not as fuel efficient as planes...and they cant stay airborne for long so they extremely expensive to run n sum of em cost a hell of a lot more than learjets!!!!

hehe... honestly i don’t think the added perks are worth it anymore....

I don’t mean to offend any air-hostesses by this, but the quality of the girls really has dropped... sure there are pretty girls, but the 'wow' factor that the term ‘air-hostess’ brought with it is no longer there. Its just average pretty girls.. so its not worth it going through all the 1000s of hours of flight training to meet those girls.. can do so by going to crescat or Odel.. heheheee!

Mayne it’s the internal politics that’s going on when selecting these girls… ohh well, in the end it is us poor travelers who are deprived of the reallllllllllyyyyyyyy pretty girls on the flight… hheheeh!

its just a small part of the perks dude...pilots r paid well, travel, status etc etc oh n air hostesses r easy...but yes the 'wow' factor is gone
