If your based on the East coast for a LHR flight, you will spend 48hrs in the company hotel before operating. Note this is not a commuter based in PER, this is someone based on the East coast
As for the S/O purportedly stood down for operating on the day, I call BS on that. I’d suggest he probably got there late for call.
Slip in LHR is now 50 odd hours. Recently reduced from 74 hours.
There is a crew commuter house in Redcliffe for $65/night which works well for standbys etc.
My quickest turnaround between London trips has been two days.
Thanks for the comments. Appreciate it
