Giggedy,
If it's not the best 737 job in the world as Carlsberg might say, it is a job nevertheless. Yes there are some issues at the moment, rostering certainly being one of them (earlies to lates anyone?) and the Kabul destination has definately raised lots of questions and concerns.
Yes no-one likes to go to work at midnight and fly all night and sleep all day but it is paid really quite well (tax free) and does enable you to have a life on your time off.
Like most things in life, if you don't want it then fine as someone else will be there to take your place. I chose to come here and while there are things that I hope change, by and large things are a lot better than not and I am happy to be here.
NG Fellow, yes the bond decreases on a pro-rata basis. That is the longer you stay then the less you will pay the company if you leave before your three years. (Decreases month by month)
