I am now a LHS commuter on a 71% contract, or a 7/7 as it is called. In real life it often works out as a 5/9 or 6/8 roster. (yes often 9 days off )

Would not even swap this for a direct entry CMD into a 744 if offered.

I didn't realise 7/7 was on the UK contract. That's a good roster pattern to get and might have changed my decision to leave.
