This Profession has it all. Good and bad. Overall though it's good IMO. Sure a night Bodrum or Tenerife landing back at 7.30 am isn't exactly fun, but a morning PMI or blast down to MAH is great fun!

Rosters are reasonably stable and improving, 650 hrs/year, reasonable amount of time off (particularly winter). And for this I get £70k/year.

Would I want to go back to 9 to 5 in a (windowless) office. What do you think ?

Best job in the world despite all the attendant bs.
