I know there’s some weekend working changes happening which may impact that now, but once you’re top 25% you can pretty much choose your roster and what type of work you do.
So say one was to move within commutable distance of Heathrow, would the day trips really be sustainable? Obviously coming from a much smaller airport a concern would be losing significant real time at home dealing with LHR on a daily basis. I.e. is being at home most nights achievable and more importantly manageable out of mainline?
Just want to thank everyone for their insight - very much appreciated and all useful for both other's and my own decision making.
