Been in FR for nearly 4 years now myself
The money is ok as I work a lot of hours, but the cost of those hours is missing so much in my REAL LIFE!
its like having two lives, one I work hard and pay all my bills but do nothing but recover after my days on, or I work not a lot and cant afford to do anything on my days off because of commuting and lots of extra expenses, the uniforms medical ID etc all eventually add up to real money!
Keep looking at jobs further afield thinking the grass will be greener, but I really just want to go home to the lads and a pint after work in the local, and EK are not going to offer that either!
So I sit in the cruise now working on my own business plan on my laptop to hopefully leave in a years time, (time will tell)
if I could sell my ATPL for the £100k i paid for it tomorrow to some guy, I would not only take the money and run I would probably give him £10k back as a thank you.
I give up to much for FR!
