Life is fine. I wouldn't recommend commuting though.
There is a SH Captain who is literally counting the days until he can go back to being an FO on the jumbo. Hates everything about his lifestyle and continuously moans. Why you may ask?
He is a junior Captain and lives 500 miles from work.
He even moaned that he had to work Christmas Eve and Boxing day and that didn't suit living at the other end of the country, and all.
