I agree with Golden Rivet, but you work for a large company, if you are fed up with shear decks get a move somewhere else. It takes a bit of putting yourself about but it can be done, and there is always the OSE job. It may not be ideal but it is a taste of what's around while protecting what you've got. Have you got your A+P yet? If not - why not? Get it quick while you can. The yanks are about to change it all big time. At least you'll be able to apply for the majority of vacancies at LHR.
