Even when landing prior to 0400, I had DRP’s too.
With Canaries, Turkey, Cyprus flights etc. it’s easy to burn through the hours meaning that on lates you tend to have less actual working days. A lot of earlies are shorter; Balearics, FAO, AGP etc. which have been utilised as training flights to save trainers hours. Winter is soooooo quiet though
Correct.
The options are:
1. Work earlies and daytime flying but work harder.
2. Work late nights but less hours per month.
3. Have a mix of the two.
Traditionally training has been on earlies, but going forward trainers are able to bid for late flights instead.
As said, Jet2 is all about hard work in the summer and quiet winters. Nothing will change anytime soon as it’s a holiday company. Trainers will work hard all year for obvious reasons, but you can apply for part time once in the company.
