It depends what you want. I work for a regional airline out in the sticks (two engineers looking after 1 aircraft) and there's good and bad points for both sides. I also spent hours last week battling winds, rain and snow, but only for an 8 hour shift, then went home like I do every night!!! Week of earlies, week of lates, don't do weekends, been here two years, only 1 unscheduled night away.However... I have to work alone permanently and I know that my joiner bother-in-law earns far more than me. It's a lifestyle choice I suppose, I don't want to swap for bigger jets and more money if I'm going to end up working for a living!!!!!!!Now head back below the parapet and wait.....
