Super pilot - sincere commiserations, I suspect it will be the company's loss...
If it is any consolation whatsoever, I would respectfully suggest that the way things are going, it may well prove to be in the longer term, a blessing that it hasn't worked out for you. I've just come back from a really enjoyable trip but the attritional nature of it all, cannot be disguised. Most of us are completely knackered and I for one am being forced down the part time route in attempt to regain some balance in the work/life equation.....

I bumped into a SH skipper the other day who had hit 900hrs on SH!!! Think about that for a moment....when you think of all the domestic sectors plus CDG, BRU, AMS etc etc that is a shed load of flying. In my first year on the bus c10 yrs ago I did 750 and that felt like hard work. I'm LH now and recently exceeded 100 in 28 and my annual total is rolling along at about 850....

Just my observations. Good luck and safe flying. Rgds Sid
