Scroggs,

Thanks for the perspective:

And you would seriously suggest that those things don't happen in airlines?!
Well I imagine it is a matter of degrees but point taken.

As Maximum says, the bit in the air is a lot less wonderful than it might appear from where you stand.
Understood. I never really consider any job to be wonderful in that sense of the word. After all we only accept being told how to conduct our lives and what to do because we need to the money at the end of the day. Maybe I should rephrase to "vastly more interesting!"

...our companies' demand of our time constantly threatens the stability and harmony of our domestic life.
Can you expand on this for me. Given that there is a max of 900hrs a year flight time - and I expect the airline to make the most of that. How much time should one expect to be 'at work' or 'on duty'?

Cheers!
Kef
