You would be having that at BA. I know a few who joined BA around 5 years ago. As FOs they have better say over their roster. Been offered command but most of them said no.
Maybe 1 trip away a month. Hardly a way a lot. If you want the day trips you can bid for them. SH no late flying due to restrictions at LHR. Last summer I lost count of how many times I landed past 1am. 4 days off, the first day I was ruined. Days on in summer I barely see the family. Kids birthdays easy. Swap to
have it off. With RYR I get maybe 50% of swaps. If that. Mrs bday missed it. Kids same. Xmas I had Xmas day off. Finished late on Xmas Eve then had Boxing Day “late” starting at 9am. Hhmmmmm
Yes LH obviously going to be away more. Don’t bid for it. Simples.
