Excuse me for laughing, but you are way off base here. Time off? Yea, right.
Job security? Again, you better re evaluate your goals.
Well, by time off I mean when I'm not flying / at work, and regarding job security, well I did say relative, after all, how much longer do you think anybody can get away flying a 727?
Anyway thanks to you and everybody else for the insights, at this point hoping timing works out in my favor. I'm typed on the 737, alas no time on type, but hopefully things look up again in the future.
I'm hoping to get some face to face time with some of the carriers in BKK when I pass through in July on my vacation. Nok Air, Orient Thai, and K-Mile will be my stops.
