Question is the grass any greener?

right, here goes:

i'm currently a captain for the web's allegedly favourite airline but i'm now growing weary of charging across europe 5 days out of 8 and getting treated with utter contempt by management who are quite frankly rotten to the core. so, now that STN base is 'frozen', i'm looking at my options. (and i suspect i may not be the only one!!)

the problem is that any move i make is going to affect my family so i'm trying to find out as much information as possible.

i'd really like some lifestyle opinions from other sectors (eg long haul/ charter/cargo/overseas) and/or my prospects with another employer. i hardly see the wife and kids when i'm working anyway so i'd be happy to hear about anything relevant!

i'd be especially interested to hear from anyone who made a move from low cost. (i'm not really interested in moving to another low cost operator)

i realise that not everybody is suited to every lifestyle so if you reply i'd be grateful for as many facts as possible to try to make up my own mind.

this is a genuine enquiry, so thank you in advance.
