The 777 rosters are very similar in number of work days and days off BUT to add insult to injury the 777 is paid less. I have one day off less than this but 'ONLY' in the low 90s, so paid a considerably smaller sum.
Now don't get me wrong and think it's about the money, because it is not. I would prefer to be nicely under the productivity threshold and spending time at home recovering and enjoying my family, but whilst I'm not it does grate a bit at times.
These rosters are crazy, legal, but ridiculous. You could on occasion, understand once in a while but this is month in month out year after year. Why anyone would join this place now is beyond me, yet apparently, we do have joiners. I fly with guys who joined because they had read all this stuff and didn't believe it, thinking all these posts were just a plot to keep this plum job to ourselves!
