Well for those of you who think the grass is greener on the other side, I've had no summer leave, actually no leave for eight months, hammered in summer with many changes and roster only just got quieter toward end of November and it'll be back to carnage when our Ski Flights start up in a few weeks.
With guaranteed summer leave, virtually a winter shut down and a regional base I can't see why anyone would give that up to go abroad!
