Hey guys
Im not a BA or LH pilot either, so I dont really have an actual insight, but reading through this thread I find many people saying it can be tiring with junior triple rosters for example.
(They have every right to do say this, though. It is certainly hard work. Its still only my curiousity thats writing this. + I might want to join at a later stage since my countries flag carrier is non-existant anymore
)
So basically my question is 5.5 legs a month that bad? I mean basically they are 6-8 hour long sectors with two pilots if Im correct. You get a layover after that, then back to base and two/three days off. So the actual working days would be 10-15.
With a LCC even if you are fixed 5/4 you will be doing 4 sector really long 10-12+ hour days. I mean, 1-2 am finish 7pm report time the same day.
Even with taking jet lag and other factors into account, I still think it is much easier than any other flying job.
But I want to see from someone who actually does it.
It is worth pointing out that this is MY opinion therefore yours does not have to match. I have never ever done it, so I dont have an actual insight as I said. Thats why I am asking this, so please dont take this offensively, because it is not at all.
Clear skies to everyone!
