Standby time
Firstly apologies if this isn't in the right place (mods please move if not). Ive heard of a potential opportunity to fly for a small company doing ad hoc charter work. My research has revealed that the roster is 7 on 3 off during which you can be called out at anytime during the 7 days on. I'm not totally au fait with FTLs but does anyone know what the rules are with regard to this situation? Having to sit by the phone 24/7 would mean putting life on hold and seems to be a poor work/life balance. Is it classed as standby for all that time or should there be some downtime within those 7 days?
