Hi ridders,

I take it from your posts that your partner is probably in GF management as none of the pilots i know can afford flash cars or to eat out most nights at the places you seem to. Most of them are struggling with a housing allowance of 300 or 400 beads, having to stump up 100 bead per month per child for schooling.
Being down route for 23 days a month and having to eat out then.
Anyway glad you're enjoying yourself. For the crew, who this forum is really about after all, a cheaper car is better, and maybe eating in jims or crumz, with a twice a month or so blow out in zoes or mezzaluna is the norm. And only to trader vics for xmas.

I know western F/O s who don't even know where zoes is, let alone the place next door. Way above their budget.

Euro atc. couldn't agree with you more old boy! there is nowhere to go in a flash car, and 90% of the roads are poor. If you're crew your car will spend most of the month in the car park.
