I agree, best job I ever had too. The company wasn't to bad for much of it but the empire builders and insoluble personalities down south eroded much of that. Sad really because I used to pop out of bed at 0430, arrive at the hangar at 0515 depart at 0630 arrive CNS at 1030. Sign on was not until the NEXT evening at 1730. Christ it was almost a gulit trip to be paid $105,000 (in those days) to do 3.3 hours block time and then have a spa in my room before going for a run or swim then do lunch and have a rest before dinner and a piss up of biblical proportions accompanied by the odd nightclub/pub eviction, sleep it off, have breakfast, chat with a flight attendant or two by the pool, go for another swim or go shopping, have a nap and then go 3.3 hours back home again into days off. Yep it was a great job, best one in the airline industry in my opinion. The company was another matter altogether.
