Can totally empathise with you guys, I'm married with kids and the thought of having to take a promotion and then put up with being miles away from home at the companies leisure would not appeal. Lets hope that they get their act together but sounds like people are starting to vote with their feet and show FR the same level of respect they have shown their staff over the last few years.
Now really is the time to start insisting on being treated with a bit of respect again and not just at FR.....They really have had it their own way toooooooooo long.
If MOL thinks flying is so easy wouldn't you just love to send him up on a dark and stormy night with an engine failure for a Single Engine approach with a crosswind and see how well he got on............of course he could always call on the CC to come help!!!
Words fail me....
Good luck guys.
