Very true.

I also forgot to add BSL and ATH.

No thank you.

I didn't say the lines were I said the schedule was. I got the impression the guy wanted to know how often you are away from the frau. You are correct those lines suck, as do more and more of the domestic commuter lines.

most of the trips either Deadhead on Sun or Mon and back on Fri.
So.... how 'bout this... instead of forcing those that take the housing money to live within 100 mi. of CGN, we let them live within 100 miles of a major hub in Europe.....

That's bound to save the company money. I can't imagine tickets out of CGN or DUS are a bargain.....

There are several already in CGN who would like to see this happen and live within 100nm of CDG, ARN, BCN, and BUD, as far as I know. Hopefully that will be an option in the next contract, in addition to the housing allowance being available to all pilots in the FDA's, regardless of wheteher the family relocates or not.
