For me starting a family in the next couple of years was also a dealbreaker. I hope it works out for you and at least gain more control of your life as your seniority increases, we've resigned ourselves to the lottery of preferential bidding and working less to cope. I'll watch this space to find out if you feel like you made the right choice in a few years! You were a decent skipper to fly with, wish you all the best.
Thank you! I think everyone’s situation and wants will be different so I can very much see the argument for staying and going 75%. If we do fly again before I leave, unless you’re now a captain, Do make yourself known. Clearly there is no mystery in my username…
