any word on commuting roster? Is this expected to be a decrease in salary for a commuting roster?
in winter months are you still getting above 70 hours or living on basic?
There are no "commuting rosters".
Most people like W patterns because it's easier to commute that way or because people have no life back home or both.
The roster is during the summer so to say filled with usually two W patters and one forth and back.
Hours in summer 80+
Hours in winter 30-60ish (destinations and hours a bit depending on where you are based and if you've gone fwb somebody in crewplanning)
Yearly total around 700 block
Average at home days during the summer: 12-15*
Average at home days during the winter: 15+*
*(including 11 guaranteed days off and RES10 + overall unplanned days)
Depending on where you are based (OSL,CDG), there are company per diems of 80€ for every day you're not a home.
