QOL here on the road stinks these days.
I know, that's why I don't mind being on Med LOA. Have no intention of returning, which is good because I probably couldn't if I wanted to. At least not without sacrificing my health by going off the medication that's keeping me grounded. Since my last flight almost a year ago I've lost 35lbs, down to my lowest weight since 1989-90 time frame. Waist has gone from 38" to 34". I put in at least 4 miles on an incline trainer almost every day. Virtually stress-free life. Pay is low, but I planned and saved knowing I'd most likely have to do this one day. After Harvey Watt kicks in down the road I'll be pretty comfy.
