It is rather frustrating as I understand this is such a personal decision and one you can never really know is right until you've made it! I will continue to ponder for the short term as I do have a little window to make the decision in. I do most appreciate everyone's input thus far and going forward, many thanks again.
Exactly that...
drawn to the brand. I'm in a similar situation...leaving the military and have a job offer from Jet2 and BA. BA offers the stronger package and prestige but Jet2 offers home stability, a 25 min commute (compared to 2hrs for BA) and hopefully quick command as Jet2 will factorise my hours from the military.
