Hi

Thanks to all of you for your kind replies. My DH flies shorthaul from London all around Europe but we live about 2 hours drive from London so he has to factor in the commute to his travelling. He then does about 3 or 4 sectors a day.

When he took the job he told me he would have 4 days on then 3 days off so I thought it would be ok but that is not the case! He only has about 1 or 2 days off a week and he has so much to cram in those days that we hardly get any quality time together.

It doesnt help that I work full time and his days off are usually on the weekdays so i'll be at work when he's off. Then when i'm off on weekends he's almost always away. Its impossible to make plans!

He tells me it will get better when he flies long haul as although he will be away for longer he will also be given more time off but his airline have type frozen him for another 4 years.

I am going away with him this weekend for the first time so it will be interesting to see what it is like for him.
