Those of us working backsides off in the summer appreciate a block of 4 days off, particularly with family. Jet2’s working all summer random roster puts most off. That’s just the general vibe I get around the network, not just me! 5/2 or 6/3 in the summer, regardless of odd rest days in an amongst that, just doesn’t sit well, particularly if you’ve got kids.
Depends how motivated by money you are .
Isnt the wizzair block off a bit of a fantasy ? The first day you can work to 2 am or something ? Thats a rest day ( what’s left of it after you wake up ..) not a day off .
