If everyone was junior once we would be in a real mess.
Rosters for a junior pilot on short haul. Really not that bad. Think of it this way and you will be fine. A couple of reserve periods a year. Work most weekends and mostly 2 day 6 or dirty doubles. Possibly 18 days work a month. It will however improve providing recruitment continues. If it stagnates then it’s a rough ride for a while.
Why is being in the RHS seen to be doing as little as possible?
