You obviously don't work for Flybe. Next month I'm working 160 duty hours, mixture of lates and earlies, I have 2days off in-between but I finish on say Thursday at 2130 start back to work Sunday at 6am...
I live hundreds of miles away from home. I have 70k debt, I usually run out of money 2weeks after pay day.
All my friends own their own homes have stable relationships, live where they want get to go to all birthdays weddings etc
Do I enjoy my job? Yes but I'm sensible enough to see it for what it is...some days are easy some days are very difficult.
And currently captain year one is £53500. Not 60000.
This Flybe work schedule leaves all us flight crew feeling constantly tired.
There's other jobs out there I'd happily swap this one for, in a previous life I was destined to be a highly paid engineer in a power station. If that opportunity came along again I might just take it.
Mon-fri £80,000 + benefits sit and drink tea most of the day...
