long haul is for the young, free, and single,
I disagree ! Although, very much depends on the type of rostering and trip allocation. I have been lucky as Qantas Long Haul has a seniority based bidding system which has allowed me to be home most weekends and special events. A good family backup has also been a determining factor. Have been abe to stick to 1 to 5 day trips. Again, as we all work in different countries and under varying conditions, it would be impossible to give an overall opinion.
