The only Jet2 pilots who think they work hard are the guys/girls who have never worked for any other airline. Maximum of 10 days flying a month for 4 months and between 2 and 5 days flying a month, for the other 8 months. Add another 3 days a month on average if you are on the 737. If you commute then the endless winter Standbys are obviously not for you, but the idea that a steady 5/4 roster is in anyway preferable to a roster where I have, on average, between 20 - 25 days a month NOT flying, is completely bonkers.
