Majority of the former are on amazing contracts which pay significantly more than the 789 guys. Without being ageist - generally they are much older, so much so I thought as a doctor I would have to assist one of them who looked >75! The contract and conditions make it difficult to justify leaving, even though some of them probably should. I find the 789 crew in general (**based on about 1 J flight TT every 2 weeks) to be very good! Friends that are FA's on the 789 have also pointed this out to me, it seems many are aware (again based on personal opinion).
