No, I'm not suffering from long-haul fatigue, just getting old!

Lifestyle's a personal thing. For me, with young children, I get more time at home than my mates in short-haul, and I work less hard than them when I'm away - in nice places. I have well into five figures on hours, so I no longer have anything to prove on numbers of landings (same as numbers of take-offs, fortunately!), and I don't feel the need to be able tell tall tales of derring-do among the Greek islands.

However, this lifestyle doesn't suit everyone. It certainly didn't suit the last Mrs Scroggs, whose objections would have been equally valid in short-haul flying.
