Also what are the bonus factor for each aircraft, and does the Global for ex. makes as much bonus? The bonus is not increased in that fleet but as it can fly longer do pilots earn similar amout of bonus or is it less?
Thanks !
I’m pretty sure TBP was already summarised further up this thread.
Don’t worry yourself too much about the finer details of the productivity bonus rates between fleets as you pretty much have 0 influence over which fleet you will be on. The basics are that the Global crews get the lowest bonus rate as they have cabin crews, APU and typically long sectors and lowest total hours per year on average whereas the other end of the company fleet typically do Min rest, max duty, short turn 3-5 sectors per day and look after the aircraft by themselves with a GPU if lucky to keep themselves cool (there is no form of proper heating without engines running)
