I agree entirely with sapco2; get the passenger flying out of your system as soon as possible.
I did the longhaul bit with lots of stewardesses on the beach (with all the associated problems) but the SLF business finally got to me.
For the last 20 years I have been in the freight business. I have enjoyed just about every minute of it.
No hassle
Direct routings
Quiet radio frequencies
Good equipment
400 hours per year
Good pay and conditions
A hell of a lot of fun
And now I am retired on a bloody good final salary pension.
Stuff flying SLF!
