A few home truths:
£250 quid for working on a day off. I will have some of that. I get £6.89 an hour for working on my day off - its called overtime.
Remember Tony - you were the new guy in the RHS one day. Your job as Captain is to train, nuture and guide the new guys, not slam them for being inexperienced.
I have friends who fly for the likes of Flybe/Easy/Buzz Stansted. Things sound far worse there then your cosy life at Monarch. I friend of mine spent 4 days out of the last month at his "base airport" and was forced to do his line check whilst operating in discrertion recently.
I will have my fATPL finished soon. Would be delighted to take your place at Monarch if you hate it so much.
