I agree with fGVd. The roster does not add up. I just pulled down the schedule from the website and plotted it in Excel. They need to offer 3 additional days off per month to make this a 900 hour per year gig (on top of annual leave). However I suspect they will convert some of the duties at home and down route into standbys thereby not impacting your annual limit but still screwing you over for time at home (if the standby is down route) B
Smooth - you a wannbee rosterer or Pilot?
Airlines need standby's yes I know Pilots don't like them particularly if commuting so my answer is;
1/ Live in STN
2/ Don't join
