I’d be genuinely interested to know how anyone could possibly squeeze additional work into the rosters I’ve seen at EF. Seems to be routinely 6 days on, earlies then lates, 2 or very occasionally 3 days off. Fatigue aside I can’t imagine it’s legally possible to do much overtime?
The (slightly) higher pay at EF compared to the junior pay levels at Heathrow are a bit misleading. Compare your days off (10 at EF?) vs a Heathrow pilot (12-14?). Any Heathrow pilot working 2-4 days overtime would easily beat the take home of an EF skipper.
If you’re working harder for your salary, is it really a better salary?
