Thanks to the VS folk who have given some info on this thread. I am seeking a bit more info if you have the time.
Trying to find a reason to apply, so looking past the salary scales. Lifestyle is important to me, I live up North and would plan to commute (kids settled in school etc).
If the above post regarding EASA FTL’s and 900hrs is true, is this going to be achievable?
I’m assuming commuters make it work by arriving into LHR night before, trip, then head home on same day after landing.
How many trips are people doing and how are the blocks of days off arranged? (Assuming boeing fleet).
Are the majority of trips bullets? Or is there a good mix even if junior? Do juniors get USA trips regularly on the 787?
How many days leave/year and how many days off a month is typical?
Staff Travel? Anything special or just usual ID90 standby?
Easy to take partner on a trip?
Allowances. Seems to be a bit of uncertainty whether it’s the previous system of a few hundred bucks or the HMRC minimum?
Finally, Overtime. Is there much available? Is it all last minute on the day or could you pick it up as a commuter with a bit of notice?
Thanks.
