Bucking - You're spot on, he is a 'junior' Houseman and is studying to become an ENT specialist, but has to work the hours to become established and obviously become a 'specialist'. We were together at Christmas and discussing the pro and cons of both being FC and a DR, to be honest there aren't too many cons with an office at M0.85 except the usual Bidline gripes and of course the pension debate, but I felt a little contrite after he dozed off through exhaustion (rather than being bored rigid about some crap hotac in EWR).
I accept the Pension is a serious issue, but I'm not blinkered enough to see that the general public perceive BA FC and CC to be overpaid and underused, personally, I can see little, if any, public support.
I hope I'm wrong though....
