buzzc152 Personally I think it is one of the best sale to of the job. You get to explore the world, have a nice breakfast and dinner everyday. I also think it helps to keep the marriage and family fresh......providing of course you're not away from home for extended periods. I'm away for 4 or 5 nights at a time then with 5 days at home and it works fairly well.
Forgive me buzz but recall you posting recently you had gone for BA. Did you get in then and this is what you find with BA during training or is this a different company? 5 on 5 off sounds a dream. Didn't think even BA long haul got that unless extremely senior. Can I have your job whatever it is pretty please
I do lots of layovers. Away 3 weeks then week or so off. I don't want to stay long haul. It's got a shelf life and you never feel life you're part of your own life after a while, no matter if you do it in a few day chunks or get it out of the way in one long stretch. I think having kids makes it worse.
