172: I don't have a RYR hat. My comments were about the industry in general depending in division of the league you see yourself, or want to be. The premier division would be nice for many, but as you suggest home life is high on the priority list for many. Working for a division 1 airline out of an English norther county close to home & friends might have more attractions than commuting, or moving, down to LHR/LGW. Lower T's & C's, but better quality of life for the individual. The same argument could go for those eying up the M.E. or Hong Kong. No idea what the divorce rates are these days for those based overseas, but in HK 20 years ago it was not low. Horses for courses and each to their own. Eye of the beholder and all that.
