hello, can anyone tell me what the flights are like. How many days off and days on are. What the flights look like.
How many many normal hours a month are the lines?
Is there reserve lines?

Be ready to get shot down for asking.
AB 8-10 days off / Month 85hrs
777 /380 12-14 days off 90+ hr/m
Top bid month maybe get a string of days off 5-7
remember that even when you ( the new guy ) is in your top month there is 100+ guys above you, so you might not get what you bid for.
more A/C coming than pilots so the rosters wont be getting any better for a while(2-3 years).
Res month is 5 weeks and that happens 1 maybe 2 times in a 10 month rotation, summer be the worst for some because there is very little flying that drops into res.
Please don't even think about commuting, you and your family will hate you for it
