Minimum of 9 days of a month. 122 a year not including leave. 3 RDOs a month and you normally get what you ask for. Weekends off less likely in the summer but I’ve had 2 3 day weekends off in the last month but that was more luck than anything else.
Probably a fairly high chance of a Belfast base initially as it never seems to be a hugely popular choice unless you live there. You may well end up somewhere else to start with but you can put your name on the base transfer list (I think as soon as you start) and you will be at your preferred base within a year maximum. The company makes a point of basing people where they want to be.
Pretty good moral usually although this summer roster disruption is pretty bad for various reasons so there’re more moans than normal.
I think these days everyone is bonded but hopefully more recent joiners will be able to confirm that either way.
With your hours you could have a command within a year. All you need would be 6 months, 300 hours in the company and two decent sims.
