lifestyle
If you want a 9-5 job, then go for it. Traffic each way and every weekend off.
If you want to fly , you may/will probably have to work some non- standard hours and on public holidays and weekends.
No-one is forcing you to fly RPT. The choice is yours.
You may well get to see a lot more of your family on an airline roster.
I remember being one of the few fathers dropping off and picking up my children from pre-school and primary school, and maybe the occasional Christmas gift opening in the afternoon or non-alcoholic bubbly.
We have a roster request book where you can, within limits, be off when you need to for special events.
What is your definition of a family friendly lifestyle, and are you prepared to compromise?
Cheers
