Aircrew, Flight Engineer to Freight Train Driver. 35 hour week maximum, a contract in black and white, no cr@p and a union not to be messed with.
Been out for 3 months now and haven't missed a thing. I haven't laughed so much or enjoyed getting up to go to work like this in years!!
It really can be fun and rewarding out here in the right places!! Making the decision to go is the hardest part but once you have done that, then leaving is a doddle!! Didn't use re-settlement etc.
Only regret? Not having done it 2 years earlier!!
