Unfortunately, whilst PPJN has some accurate info, it is completely uncontrolled. Therefore anyone with a grudge can post anything they like. As has been said before you will get a 5/2 or 6/3 in the summer, but not every week, and it is unlikely they will all be flights, in fact they can’t be. Every one gets some short flights, not just the trainers. The Duty Rest Period after a 4am checkout is a valuable addition. The AM/PM preferences was only trialled last year and has been increased this year. I suspect it will be increased again going forward.
