This from an earlier discussion on this topic:

Below are three rosters, for three different F/Os of varying degrees of seniority on the B747, during a recent month. I think they are reasonably representative of a typical line for that seniority.

All these lines were bid for, under BidLine (not assigned or rostered) all earned roughly the same amount of credit, all were sufficient work for that particular month, which was an average month. The amount of work required over a year is fixed, but the amount of work required each month can, and does, vary, at BA's discretion.
  • Senior F/O: BKK/SYD (9), JNB (5), BLR (4). 18 Days On / 12 Days Off
  • Middle F/O: NRT (4), DEL (3), SFO (4), JNB (5). 16 Days On / 14 Days Off
  • Junior F/O: BLR (4), MIA (3), MEX (5), NRT (4). 16 Days On / 14 Days Off
You will hear moans about Bidline, but few who have used it would ever want to go back to being rostered!
