Flying Fiona - Why dont you do everyone in the company a favour and all your collegues a favour and go get a job in your local Tesco's which may suit your lifestyle more than working for a airline.
It's because certain people like you are so irressponsible that your collegues are having to work so hard and and are having work on days off and worrk long hour's.
Dont forget Fiona - that managment read these forum's and it wont take much for them to see who called in sick for your duty and track you down.
A lot of people on here have spent fast amount's of there own money ( I know because i'm one of them ) and not to have it paid for by daddy or by her majesty to get to where they are and don't give a damn if they are flying prop's or jet's for there first job - they are just happy to be doing what they enjoy most - TO FLY !!!
If you no longer enjoy flying then it's about time you found yourself a new career - one that more suit's your lifestyle and is less demanding on you.
