I am curently employed by a struggling UK Charter outfit and have an imminent move to Dragon Air planned. I would like to know a bit about the rostering patterns at Dragon Air in comparison to any generic UK jet charter outfit you might care to think off.
My current rating is on Boeing 75/76 so presumably I will convert to the scare bus. That being the case, how long to get a full house of ratings ie the 330?
Any comments gratefully received, but I am anticipating replies from current Dragon Air drivers who originated in the UK.

Some advise you might like to take if your about to join us.
1. It's Dragonair not Dragon Air
2. Come here calling it a scare bus and see how far you get
3. You get 8 day's off per month and at the moment 90-95 stick hours is normal

I think it should be:
'Some advice you might like to take if you're about to join us.'
If English is not your first language I apologise and retract my comments.

Sorry - only used as a term of endearment.
So what would a typical week look like? Do you just do a 2 sector day or more? Do you spend any nights away from home base? Do you typically work minimum rest? etc
I apologise for any incorrect English, but being a Brummie living close to Liverpool its surprising its as good as it is!:ok:

At present on 330 :
8 - 10 nights away per month, usually short o/nites.
2-3 sectors per day.
Min 8 days off, several stby that can go either way - as mentioned above generally busy, great company.
Seems late in the piece ( with imminant start) to be finding out ?!

Ah - your reading to much into my original post. I have an imminent move planned. KA haven't actually invited to join - yet - but I know they want to!
Think positive
Presumably you guys get dual rated 320/330?
