Well said. We'll see more of these posts from time to time, I expect.
I'm very glad to have got out of the airlines, into a wonderful job with great people, which uses my skills and adds to them, whilst having none of the down-sides of the airline routine.
My friends tell me that since my job change, I've become a different person, much more the way I was years ago before I got into public transport flying. I feel much, much, happier, younger, more healthy, and more positive.
The most important thing I have realised, is how little I was aware of the effect that an airline job was having. Only when a good friend and colleague of mine had a near-breakdown did I start to realise the damage being done.
