I agree with you, Long-gonner. My company had me flying around 800hrs for a few years a while ago and almost killed me.....it meant about 17 nights out a month. To tell you guys the truth, the only thing that worries me about FZ is if the money is enough to pay for an apartment (villa if possible), school and all the expenses. I know you can spend all the money you want in Dubai but that's not my wife's and I mind-set, we want to have a decent life with our kids and go out with them every now and then and save money. Opportunities to upgrade I think has been answered before and I'm looking forward to face the rest if I can get a decent QOL.
