Despite my rather flippant remark at the beginning of the thread, I decided to stay in on PA Spine for several reasons:
I still enjoy the life
I love flying the ac I fly
There are some great people at work and crew room banter is fun
The pension
The grass is no greener (the wife of a friend of mine with a large UK airline described life on sby as just as bad as being married to the RAF)
There are thing I hate about the job like the rushed and poorly thought out JPA... but at least it gives us something to moan about.
Overall... I am happy with my lot
