........yes, and in commercial aviation, proper airlines certainly, you get a fixed roster, ( mostly) you can plan your life and you get vastly better pay than the RAF.. A senior captain, earns more than the CAS, a line captain can easily earn more than an air rank officer, enabling a better standard of living for you, your family, gets a better pension and has FAR more control over his life. Add some very nice aircraft to fly, some very nice routes on longhaul and time to do your own thing, got my vote.
Yes, things are difficult at the moment due CV, but they WILL get better, back to normal.
