Spoilt or wot?
I worked 4 years on building sites then my parents subsidised me at a sponsored flying college. I then spent 4 years on a salary way below industry normal where we dined on offal, cheese and eggs. Until I had done 7 years my parents paid for our holidays which was to join them in the South of France doing light work. 20 years to a command and at times eight days off a month..Three legacy carriers.
8 years ago I was talking to a FR captain in MRS on a hundred grand plus net with 4 on 4 off..would have jumped at that.
Its about living the dream.
