On a more serious note regarding part-time, whilst I was at EK I flew with a colleague who was operating his last flight prior to resigning. What was noteworthy is that he didn't actually want to resign, but after one of his parents suddenly passed away and the remaining parent was suffering from declining health, which was deteriorating faster after the death, he asked Fleet Management for a month's unpaid leave so that he could get his affairs at home in order. The response was, if you want that time off, then you have to resign. An indication, if any was needed, that any part-time working is certainly not on the horizon!
