+1 to spindrier, to which I’d add that heights good’s gripes about red tape would be recognisable to many in civvy street, especially in large corporates - and none of them offer FJ flying, as far as I know anyway. The accommodation issues can’t be denied, but we are well enough paid to buy or rent if it’s that bothersome... again, try getting sympathy from a civvy for our monthly accommodation charges. As for the food, yes the core meal offerings are small and s***. Undeniably a disastrous decision to move away from the old system - but ‘old’ is very much the operative word now. Maybe pay extra for the enhanced options once in a while? You should see what corporate canteen charges are like...
