go around, pilot999 and lax,
My point is that the income can be reduced, as per my case, to around 30 hours or less, at the whim of rostering, or an Icelandic volcano.
I dont have fancy cars or live like a fotballer in the summer, and still need around 50 hours in the winter to live an average 'pilots' lifestyle. If your happy with no pay increase in 4 years, while the boss has more than he can spend, good for you.
I myself feel its time to move on.
Still like the equipment and colleagues but the other stuff is seriously sullying my experience...
