Sounds like you're about to go back into flying to me
CPB. May I take this opportunity to remind you of some of the drawbacks?..
Four GLA night stops in the past 9 days (two four day tours with 14 sectors per tour) with less than 12 hours rest on all four and the first one of each tour followed by an 11:05 planned duty day (which overran each time although did have a much longer MAN slip after it and before the second GLA).
And the CC are even in a different hotel in both MAN & GLA now too.
Anyway, the old days certainly did have
some redeeming features, didin't they?
Have you considered joining Chris F down at Aurigny? Might be able to recapture the magic? Much as I'd love it, the future's in RHS LH for me... Off to the 744 in December. I want my life back too, but have chosen a different solution to you.

Er... Oh yeah! ATRs... That stretched version
discus2 has dreamed up sounds like a winner to me. The ATR is certainly a good money making machine, whatever it's foibles.
Amazing that they went a whole year without selling one a few years back. Turboprops seem to be back on the agenda again now that fuel is so expensive and curbing air travel is beginning to move up the political agenda.
