I keep hearing about the land of Red/Orange milk and honey, and I'm really pleased this life can work for some. 10 years with this lot and my passion for aviation is just a memory now and I'm looking for something new outside this industry.
I believe even in the same airline, depending of the base you operate, you can have some big difference (and it can change with time, a good base can become a hard working base later).
All of this change a lot of how you fell happy or not.
I think Six sixty and I are working for the same airline, my November and December roster were really good. 16days off and 15 days off, Christmas 3days off, new year, holiday starting from the 27th Dec ... So far in 1 year I did only 681hr, I m having average of 57hr a month ... Much better than my previous airline where I was regularly flying 80/90hr !
