it could always be arranged for you to work every sat and sun on chambrey, with associated nitestops and taxis. it would increase your current work load by about 150% and your income , via duty pay by about 2%.

Make the most of it, trust me its better than slogging in loco for a few pennies more. Last year i worked flat out all year for the first time in the uk. Didnt make much more dosh and prefer the quiet winters.

Fyi ,if you are on the 767 the long haul trips are far beter than 90% of ba worldwide lgw trips. Week in goa ,week in mombasa, etc, not much of that about these days.

Spare athought for those of us stuck on the 737, where the only perk is first choice of hosty,oops i mean crew food
