If you want to avoid the long trips (13+ days) it's better to separate the two blocks of OFF days. Also, most people divide their 42 annual vacation days in small portions in order to get longer blocks of OFF days.
2 Depends on experience. Time unit 0 for Junior FO (lowest "rank") would give you 4973 gross. You can expect that amount to increase by about 15% (as an average) due to allowances (sunday/ night-time etc.). These allowances are tax free, so are per-diems (on average about 1000 monthly)
3. At the moment it's about 11 years, but that doesn't say much, for you it could be 7 years, could be 20, could be never
4. 11% part time = 2 extra off days per month. 15% part time = 4 extra off days per month, except last 3 months. 21% part time = 4 extra off days per month all year. Then there's an additional part time scheme which offers 1 to up to 5 months extra off.
Thank you all for the replies.
So theoretically, 8 on, 7 off, 7 on, 8 off would be possible? Is it also achievable in real life? As far as pay is concerned, an FO (not JFO) would get an average salary of approx. 7000 eur gross?
Thx.
