Thanks Bealzebub,
I think it's gas. A lot of what you described there is much the same as I experienced in retail management. Getting time off was near impossible, often more because of personalities in the job than for the need of you being there. I felt the compensation was inadequate for time and effort put in also. The only difference I see between the two is that I want to fly, I didn't want to be a retail manager. To me, it was a means to an end. The money was good in comparison to many jobs but when you sized up everything you often came out wondering if you would be better off behind a checkout in Tescos. It took a while to become 'established' and there after start earning large amounts. I imagine it's much the same in aviation then.
It's good to know these things rather than turn up to work and be shocked by the politic and rhetoric of it all. I believe you got to do what you love or at least aspire to it because the work environment is invariably peppered with assholes and situations you won't like. At least if you're passionate about the role you can put the rest to the backround. Thanks again!
