I must say I laugh at all the guys saying how knackered they are, I used to work 16 hour shifts on my feet back to back on less than 'minimum rest!!!' .....

Never had an easier job than flying for an airline, you all need a reality check.
Granted any job you have been doing for 20+ years will be tiring and there is no doubt it seems to be harder on the older guys, which I understand. But go out into the real world and see the dwindling T&C's across the board, and the next time you complain about doing 6 sectors think of the dispatchers and fuelers pulling 10-14 hour shifts on pay.

Go corporate if your sick of airlines, my friend (in his 40's for those who will inevitably lable me a young whippersnapper with no sense) flies for TAG and he absolutely loves it, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off on 80K as an FO
