from long-haul to short-haul
Hello Jetset25,
Well, short-haul is very different from what you may have experienced while working on the long-haul sector.
First of all, keep in mind that your duty hours will completely change (i had wake-up at 4am for a sign-in at 6am, working 4 legs and returning at the base at 1pm, add an hour more to get back home and you'll have an idea of what it can give),
that you will need to live close to your compagny base
and that you won't be able to have those great shopping all around the world anymore except you can get on the medium-haul, let's say Europe if you work in England.
I was living about 600Km from by base so short-haul meant taking a second appartment where to live for those 6 months i had to spend as tray thrower ;-)
As pointed out by Galleywench, it depends on your family situation.
I personally hated short haul as i think that the mythe of the job is the far distance trip but that was mandatory to get my kicks on long-haul.
Best regards.
