What are pros and cons of working at base with short legs (Gdansk, Tirana) in comparison to "long-leg" bases (Kutaisi, Abu-Dhabi)?
Schedule, salary, workload, etc. Basically, hwatever you think is good to know for new-coming FOs.
Depends on what you like, really. 2 long sectors with someone on your left you don’t feel the vibe with can be a loong day. But it’s surely less stressful. Paywise they’ve got distance pay mixed with sector pay, it won’t make much of a difference. It’s more the applicable taxation in the country you’ll be based in which makes the difference. Abu Dhabi is another AOC, you’ll earn a little more there compared to the Hungary and Malta AOC
