Roaming has its disadvantages as well and today is bloody expensive......often in the past GF pilots nackered by the summer schedules stayed in Bahrain for their leave to relax and recover their sleep deficit and basically rewind their time zone base.
...no hassle with staff travel tickets...no hassle with space available on flights...no hassle with space available on return flights... no possible hassle with any Tax man... more valuable one on one relax time for you with your family in accommodation you have already paid through the nose for...time to get your teeth cleaned and any dental work done..
and lead a more normal life for a few days before the GF madness started again to rerack your life.

Punching out

Well guy it has been fun I am punching out of GF. I wish you all the best with the Golden Falcon.

Poor guys on 320 continual maintence issues which I believe are bad and from a good source in the engineering department it is only going to get worse. Continually getting messed around by rostering. No one getting there requests anymore. And our lovely friend up stairs what goes around comes around. I hope we run into each other back home eh, maybe I can explain to you how you piing everyone off.

Oh and dont even dream about command. Just another carrot boys.

I can tell you it only gets marginally better on the long haul. 320 guys dont take the transfere you just asking for more time in GF. It is better but rather make your move before you sign.

But it was good for awhile, thanks for all those who I have made friends with and those I have not maybe I will see you in a real airline.

I am out, tired of being lied too. Moving to greener pastures or browner sands?!
