I can honestly say there isn’t a job I would swap this for. Sure I’d love to spend a few days getting paid to sit on the beach but you can’t have it all.

Senior LHS at Southwest can do the same schedule and make at least £200k, with 15% pension, and historically 10% bonus on top. And they just voted to strike by 99% if things don't get about 25% better....
