Hi Boh Tong
I agree to large extend that a former RI like youself shouldnt be steward/CCE for 35 years straight shouldnt be the norm.
Usually, people from elite schools such as yours tend to gravitate towards management positions in MNC.
Though its okay to do it less than 5 years for experience and use it as bragging rights, do it for lifetime seems a waste of potential opportunities outside of flying.
When we're old, we can only look bad and wonder "What if..." this and that. Life shouldn't be flying for life.
Theres more to it.
