I find this pretty interesting.

I have a very good friend who is a captain with Delta.

Now most of you out there would probably give your left bollock to be a captain with Delta.

My mate is being bu**ered about like there is no tomorrow.

In the last three years of his family life, he has gone from:

Commuting to DDD as an A330 Captain.

Commuting to MMM as a Boeing 742 Captain.

Commuting to DDD as a Boeing 744 Captain.

Commutingto MMM as an A330 Captain.

And now they have closed the base so he can either have:

B744 at Atlanta, Seattle or Anchorage.

So, he has had three aircraft changes and three base changes in three years with one of the very top airlines in the world.

So, how do you think your future is going to pan out?

Where exactly on the planet is the grass greener any more?

I am exceedingly glad that I retired on a very good final salary scheme some years ago.

Good luck to all of you.
