900 hours in the desert without them must really hurt!
not if you're averaging 53 per month Wander
It's a tough one Ron and a good thread. UK aviation is lucky that it's an island and people need to fly to get away so there will always be a certain amount of job security. But.....if you really want to stay in the UK, then get more Skip time with EZY then head out East in 5 years or so. Have a look at the figures. I can only see these increasing as the world-order slowly re-arranges itself, like it or loathe it.
I think your problem is the same as 70% of the EZY workforce - can you really stay for 30+ years, tarmac bashing through 11:30 duty days and constant 4 am alarms..!
30+ years of EZY crew food should be enough to put you off, surely
