From what I hear from the junior guys is that they get about 10 days off a month, sometimes more. (current rostering system) Some guys trade the additional days off to pick up trips. Expect to fly about 700-750hrs a year. ALL FO's can get their first pick for leave. Summer, x-mass, school holidays etc this year was still open for FO's in round 2 for the holiday bidding. In the new rostering system the 10 days off goes up to potentially 12.
Expect to fly mostly night flights in first 12-18mnths.
