I fly long haul,4 engs,naturally,I love it,most of the time,but remember,to all those who want to do it,big or small planes:-
You are as good as your next landing.
Ive not slept properly,in last 4 days,from last ULH trip,and have had sim,since,plus a short turn around flt.
Fatigue,long term is a problem,but if youre up for its effects,on professional and private life,its still good.
Wise words from Kaptin M,and this weeks Flt Int,quotes Mr O'Leary of Ryannair,as "pilots being the most cossetted work group in society".
With attitudes like that,and new pilots selling themselves,for very little,very few quality employers left,it certainly is not the job it was 20 years ago.Thats a fact.
