wot they said
Heres an external perspective.
Someone said to my wife at the school gate recently and when they found out what I did they said "Oh it must be hard with him being away all the time.".
My wifes response now I'm with BA, "he's never at bloody work, he's always on leave, or got a days off and when he is at work he sits around in the sun by a pool "
A glib response I know, but that's pretty much sums up my first year with BA. I've never been left downroute because of crewing / ops cockups, i've never got somewhere to find no transport and no hotels, I've never had a roster change (apart from swaps that I sorted out myself with a colleague) and I get paid !!!! loads more than I used to.
