Overnights are dropping from 7 per day to 4 per day in June. Additionally two aircraft will be replaced by two wetlease aircraft which means that pilots are not flying all that much over the summer (between 30 and 45 hours in june for many), however, they have a lot of standby. Preferential bidding allows to bid for no overnights, which works very well indeed, as there are quite a few who shuttle anyway and prefer to fly overnight duties. Not more than one night away in a row is planned though except for training duties.
