I just hope that your post is sarcasm and not a positive.
Why would that be sarcasm? So yes it was meant as a positive, a big one actually. Especially for a peak summer roster without annual leave. When you look at it it's only about 5.4hrs per day. Or 3hrs one way, 2.5 back to DXB and I'm done. It's actually closer to 4hrs each way cause of a daytime double sector GCC turn thrown in there but who's counting.
Only 2 short-ish night turns in a block of 8 days, 2 long nights but back well before sunrise so it's ok, 2 blocks of 3 OFF and a block of nearly 6 OFF. Rest is all daytime and nice hours. What's there to complain about?
I'm senior but not even that senior. I've seen junior Captains roster who don't bid at all that are actually surprisingly good.
Each to their own indeed.
