At least where I am I can go LH stay SH,part time options, live pretty much where ever I want as long as I can get to work. Honestly the amount I am clearing each month is more than I was expecting. Earliest check in is 5am. Latest landing SH is 23.30 back at base. No night flying.
I have so much more energy than I did before and overtime is there if I want it.
I have already passed the assessment of a nice EU company, for now they will proceed with the TR guys, for the rest like me, they will start training later for 2024 summer. Money will be less but I have already bought my own house and looking to buy another one to put on short staying platforms
