No it's not a wind-up!
During thirty-five years of commercial flying I missed the following:-
1. My son's wedding. He told me the date after the rosters were
published.
2. Umpteen parents evenings, school plays etc
3. Umpteen dinners cancelled. You don't get invited again after
the third no-show.
4. Unable to join a football team or take part in any team sport.
The list is endless.
Do I resent this? No. It goes with the job.
Given my life again I would choose the same profession, despite it's ups and downs, if you will excuse the pun.
BTW, I don't do work. I'm very happily retired on a decent pension thanks to the very hard work put in by BALPA over the years.
