Capt Mainwaring,
You surprise me with your remarks. Flying and marriage just dont mix very well,although some people seem to cope. Changing airlines will not help your friend I fear.
From BA, through the charter airlines, to the likes of Easy Jet and Ryanair, they are all full of divorced or separated people.
Sounds like he has the wrong wife not the wrong airline.
As for company man, well i have never been called that before. What I have done is worked for 4 different UK airlines and concluded that we at Monarch are fairly well off.
To your friend, I hope the grass really is greener wherer ever he goes.
