I'm not laughing and this a genuine concern for the "abuse" that is going on within the industry, particularly amongst the low cost airlines. This may be because it is predominently shorthaul. In the "bad old days" we used to fly nine, yes nine earlies, in a row without a day off.

Been there, done that!

Yes!!!, I'm really really retired and only travel in the back of aeroplanes, preferably not too far from the tea trolley.

I have hobbies as you will see from my profile, which is a little out of date as I now enjoy working as a volunteer for the National Trust one day a week and assist in the Guild pilot assessment scheme. I'll be on the stand at the Renaissance Hotel on the 19th March as well as helping at Cranwell.

Occassionally I help with careers advice in the local schools, having been checked out by OFSTED.

And I pay UK taxes on my pension under PAYE, doing my bit to keep the government going.
