This is a very interesting thread!
Out of interest Black Pudding do you have a family with you out there? I only ask as i am looking at QR and have a young family and i'm not afraid to work hard but is it possible to have any sort of life out of work other than sleeping
to enjoy family time / energy to stay fit etc...?
Would be useful to hear if there are guys coping with young families on the A320 fleet with that work load.
Cheers
