Work has some perks

[antsis]

Hi All

My job involves loads of travelling. I flew back from San Diego on Sunday and I am now in Krakow, Poland. Poland are a little like the UK in that they are in the EU, but still have their own currency.

Here's the killer; a pint of beer costs 6 Zlotys. This is less than £1.50. Where else can I get a pint this cheap?

Travelling is a big part of my job too. Anyone who wants it is more than welcome. If i didnt have to travel away from the UK again i dont think i would be too dissapointed!

I've been doing Long Haul since I was 22. Now nearly 30 years later, it is sort of part of my life!!! I cannot imagine NOT doing it.

No you don't. My company's pretty tight and I fly mainly on budget airlines. Early starts, an hour + queuing and, if I'm lucky, the return flights not cancelled. Saying that I enjoy the flying part. United Airways allow you to listen into the flightdeck comms which is pretty cool.

Have to agree with you there. I'd prefer to stay in the UK, but the money is pretty good. I have not been out with a heli since the end of July.
