Wouldn't want to disappoint you.

As you value your family life so much above everything else would you not be better working a monday to friday 9-5pm office job - as all pilot's and cabin crew know, unsociable hour's, nightstops go with the job it's part of the job desription
I am so sick of hearing this GARBAGE - there is NO GOOD REASON why a pilot or anybody else working for an airline should not expect to be able to have a life outside work. On occasion things go wrong yes thats part of the job but most of the problems arise from undercrewing and incompetence - simple as that.

You're WRONG about all other airlines too - there are some who have copped on to the fact that it saves money to have a decent roster.

Look at Ryanair - do you think they provide a steady roster because they care about pilots lifestyles?Or do you think they have found it SAVES MONEY?

Anyone got any kids - I need my chimney sweeping!
