Title: Back to the UK!!
Post by: Gaffers on 08 January 2016, 12:01:08
No more commuting to Frogland for me after this weekend and starting a new contract in Cov next week.  Looking forward to only having a 2 hour commute although I will be living in a very nice hotel this time which is out of town and thus away from the eyesore which is the city.

Nearly 2 years of weekly to and fro have knackered me out, not to mention the work.  Most of the Lyon-based Easyjet cabin crew and gate agents know me now (your usual G+T, sir?) and I have made some great friends who I will definitely stay in touch with.  I will miss Lyon and some of the Easyjet staff as some of them were very easy on the eyes  :P

I might go back for the rugby finals which will be in Lyon in May and get rat-arsed catch up with friends :y

Onwards and upwards! ;)

Weekly flights tend to get very tedious and hateful after the 1st few months! Have a mate that's been doing it for over 10 yrs, don't know how he sticks it!!! Done it myself for nearly 8 yrs to and from Ireland to Scotland and England, but got offered work close to home and jumped at the chance. I now have a 15 min commute.

What do you do if you don't mind me asking?

10 years!  Ferk that.  Been doing it for 2 and that is enough.

I work in IT Security but being bi-lingual means French international companies will pay a premium in a market which is already massively short of qualified peeps.  The shortage in the UK and recent surge in demand means that the premium is no longer worth it ::)

Good luck next week :y

On the bright side, not flying means you won't keep leaving your attire on the plane :D

Sounds like the gate agents really will be breathing a sigh of relief. :o
