My better half recently took voluntary redundancy after 25 years at BA. In the early years,he loved it,but latterly he came to hate it. 900 hours a year,limited time at home-and absolutely knackered on your couple of days off. Sims had become a nightmare too. They gave him a lousy 2 days off when his Mum died while he was away on a trip,he'd get phone calls from them within an hour of going to bed on arrival home..hit's not all it's cracked up to be..
