Well yes... and no.

I have worked 2 jobs all my working life... but one would hope that a pilot for a major regional airline wouldn't need to do so.

...get rid of the dog and go-around on the second kid, downsize the house
...and what do we go to work for anyway? To support our families, I always thought. Just guessing, AJM, but do you have dog or kids, or a wife nearing forty? Not having a go but being in that position changes your perspective!

No I'm not whinging either... but just amazed, when I do the maths on the job I thought I always wanted, that it is such a backwards step.

Thanks guys
